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 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. Template:Endspoiler
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 (presumabely) the New York city skyline with the World Trade Centre buildings. However, the movie does not take place in neither city, nor or 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 guerilla warfare on the invaders, however this never occurs anywhere in the film.
