A group of kids led by Jed (Patrick Swayze) and Matt (Charlie Sheen) flee into the woods with a pick-up truck full of guns and cans of Coke. With the men in the town rounded up and Soviet tank regiments rolling into the Mid-West, there is only one thing these kids can be: the resistance. They take the name of their school football team, the Wolverines and begin a fight back!
They also make partizan warfare look rather easy as a bunch of untrained teens mow down highly-trained Russian and Cuban troops time and time again. After brutal reprisals don't stop the Wolverines, the Soviet commanders led by Bella (Ron O'Neal) and Bratchenko (Vladek Sheybal) resort to more subtle methods...
Complete nonsense and fairly brain dead fun. The battle scenes are well-done in that very Hollywood-esque way that the "bad guys" can't shoot straight while the heroes never miss. If you brush aside the ridiculous premise and often overt propaganda-ish feel then it is perfectly enjoyable.
