The reviewer that wrote the description of the movie is missing the point in so many ways. This movie was made at the height of the cold war and presented the fear and uncertainty of the period accurately. To suggest that this movie is anti communist would be like saying Saving Private Ryan was anti nazi. It kind of misses the point. The backdrop of this film is WW3, a war between the US and the Soviet Union / Cuba. Also, nowhere in the film did it suggest that the Soviets defeated the US military and the war was left to be fought by teenage rebels. This is a simplification. The movie takes place behind enemy lines and the teenage fighters are like partisans fighting the best they could very similar to how the French resistance fought the nazis in occupied France during WW2. All in all this is a great movie.
