Synopsis:
What if Cuba and the Soviet Union opted for a conventional invasion of the U.S. rather than a nuclear attack? Then, their troops would have another think coming. Namely a group of high school students turned commandos. These teenagers -- Jed, Robert, Erica, Matt, Toni and others -- one day look outside their classroom windows to see Communist paratroopers descending from the clouds and landing on the soil of their small town. Skilled hunters and tenderfoots alike, Jed and his friends take whatever food and weapons they can find and head for the mountains. It is not long, however, before the enemy soldiers follow their trail, take prisoners, rape women, and execute "subversives." Now the fate of one theater of World War III rests in the rifle-filled hands of America's youth.

Notes:
Additional cast: Doug Toby (Aardvark) and Roy Janson (Morris). The widescreen version contains the original theatrical trailer.
