There's not much funnier than obvious conservative right wing propaganda. (That's not to say I have somethig against right wing conservatives. I'm just saying the obvious propaganda is funny.) The movie starts out with Soviets (or Cubans, or both. I couldn't tell) invading the United States. Instead of hitting someplace important, like the Pentagon or a major Air Force base, they attack America's most important facility: a high school. Yes, folks, that's right. When the commies invade, they're going to come to the high schools first and kill the teachers and students. No need to worry about American military resistence. Anyway, the main character, Patrick Swayze, along with his supporting cast, including a very young Charlie Sheen and Lea Thompson, form an underground resistence named after (I am not making this up) their school's nickname: The Wolverines. They go through most of the movie alive, but toward the end, things look up, and one of the kids dies. Eventually, after several months of guerrilla warfare (which relied on military tactics they learned from their conservative right-wing parents, I assume), they lost a few more members (none of whom are famous), and were down to 4 kids. Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen make it their duty to hit the local commie military base (which really didn't accomplish anything) while Lea Thompson and some other guy find their way to Free America. The best part of the movie was when it ended and I could stop watching it. It was awful.
I learned one thing from this movie: When the commies attack (and they will), the worst place to be is at school.
