It's powerful. Released while the Cold War was still on, it has Russians and Cubans invading the United States. It was powerful enough to cause our Protestant minister preach an entire Sunday sermon against it. He felt it was too violent and too much of a war mongering flick. Youngest son liked it. Back in 1984 I watched it, not bad. I rewatched it this afternoon and it brought tears to my eyes. Powerful that flick is. The last scene where scummy Russian colonel with a machine pistol takes on Jedd with a ivory handled Colt six gun is cool. Especially the last part where Jedd is carrying wounded brother Matty to safety and the Cuban officer gets the drop on them but waves them on. I could understand every line of dialog and the camera man turned on the lights for every scene, no black on black like they do on Game of Thrones. They don't make movies like that any more.
