- America wasn't ready...but HE was!
Taking place during the Cold War, Soviet operative Mikhail Rostov (Richard Lynch) leads a band of Latin American communist guerrillas in a landing in Florida. The invasion force spreads out into the South and causes havoc by firing bazookas into suburban homes, inciting race riots, impersonating the police, attacking ethnic events, devastating a county fair, and planting bombs in churches, malls and on school buses. With terror spreading everywhere, martial law is declared. Only former CIA agent Matt Hunter (Norris), who has had previous encounters with Rostov, can take him on.
Trivia
- On the front cover of the movie there is a picture of the United States Capitol Building in Washington D.C, and of what is (presumably) the New York city skyline with the World Trade Center buildings. However, the movie does not take place in either city, nor are any attacks mentioned in those cities; the movie only depicts and mentions attacks throughout the South Eastern United States in Florida, and in Georgia during the final fight of the movie.
- The description of the movie on the back of the movie's cover says that Chuck Norris' character was to teach the United States military to wage guerrilla warfare on the invaders, however this never occurs anywhere in the film.
Merchandise
-A novelization, written by Jason Frost, was released in October 1985 by Pinnacle Books.
-Jay Chattaway's score was released by [[Varese Sarabande] on LP in 1985.
