company.
A lame plot with bad actors linking together a bunch of WWII stock footage to depict the soviets invading the US, only they're all dressed in American uniforms and can speak English. Right... I'd be fooled.
It's so carelessly made that they have footage of jets fighting and when one gets shot down the plane obviously has a propeller, or another example is running the same stock footage of guns mirrored to make it seem like they had more guns or just draw out the runtime.
I watched this as a MST episode thinking that I would be seeing the Chuck Norris movie of the same name, only instead I got subjected to this waste of time. I couldn't even finish watching it with Mike and the bots, and when I found out what the ending was I couldn't have cared less. This plot was redone in 83 as The Day After and that was actually good, do yourself a great favor and watch that instead
