Note that the plot of this movie (no doubt a greatly embellished from the truth) bears a remarkably strong resemblance to "Red Dawn". One wonders if John Milius had seen this movie first, and whether he consciously or subconsciously borrowed the plot! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good.
