World War III (1982) miniseries

[DeeChizzle]

Does anyone else remember this two part movie on NBC? It's a low budget movie that takes place during the Cold War. U.S. initiates a grain embargo on Russia. Russia retaliates by sending in Soviet Special Forces into Alaska to sabotage the oil pipeline. During the same time a small Alaska National Guard unit happens to be conducting training when they run into the Russians. Low on ammo and outnumbered 5 to 1 they try to hold off the Russians until reinforcements arrive. Meanwhile thousands of miles away the Russian and US government try to resolve the issue diplomatically while the Russians deny they have invaded the US.

I grew up during the cold war so this one was a haunting movie for me when I was younger being that something like this could really happen.

Did anyone else enjoy this movie? I highly doubt that it will ever see the light of Blu-Ray but I'd buy in on DVD without question.
