  • This is the opposite of "Red Dawn". We won in "Red Dawn".

  • They Soviets didn't have a reliable first-strike capability against Britain or France, much less the US. They simply didn't have the hydrophone capability to track the boomers, or any quiet submarines necessary to tail them covertly (everything they made was really fucking loud).

    Basically, any Soviet invasion of the US would have to rely on lucky asteroid strikes or an alliance with Klingons.

  • I saw this miniseries. The premise was that USSR said we are going to invade you. This country had lost soo much patriotism. That USA just waved white flag and said "OKAY." LOL Robert Urisch would lead a puppett American gov't. The series fell apart because kris Kristofferson was totally miscast as an inspiring new American leader that would lead the revolution. He inspired nothing by his wooden performance.

  • The reason I think not many people watched this is because of it's length. Including commercials, this 7, that's right, 7-miniseries runs at 14 and a half hours I am dead serious

  • omg, i was an extra in this film. rofl! i would love to see it (and me 30 years ago) if anyone finds a copy please post it. thanks.

  • We stole that land from the Indians fair and square! How dare those Russians try to take from us!

  • @backplane beg to differ on the suicidal determination part ! lol

  • I finally found it a few months ago after being denied watching it when I was a kid (see my previous comment). It wasn't too bad. It would get uneven at times, but would get back on track. Kristofferson and Urich are in fine form.

  • The irony is that by the time this series started broadcasting, the Soviet Union was on its last legs.

  • One of the greatest mini series ever.

    The use of rehab for brainwashing, is a take off on the real life ideas of Ewen Cameron, and Physical therapist Bertha Bobath who belived free will can be erased.

    Its also an aparthied satire, Kristopherson's charecter is Mandela, Robert Urich the Homeland leaders and Sam Neil, P.w. Botha.
