Directed by Donald Wrye, the miniseries stars [[Kris Kristofferson]], as a maverick American political leader who plays a role in the resistance, [[Robert Urich]] as a American administrator who collaborates with the Soviets, and [[Sam Neill]] as a Soviet KGB officer who supervises the region of America the story takes place in. Unlike the similarly themed ''[[Red Dawn]]'', the weapons and armor seen used by Soviet forces in the miniseries were mostly American-made. | ||
