This off-beat story combines elements of a science fiction adventure and World War II drama. A platoon of U.S. soldiers are surrounded by the enemy in Italy and are forced to fight their way back behind the lines to their troops. The platoon is populated by the usual characters: "Sarge" is not afraid of anything, Joey has not totally left childhood behind him, and Dolan is an aggravating reporter out for a headline. When the soldiers encounter a spaceship on their way back to safety, the plot takes a 180 degree turn.
Release Date: 1984 Run Time: 86 minutes Rating: PG Starring: Timothy Van Patten, Tim Thomerson, Art LaFleur, Biff Manard Director: Danny Bilson
