Invasion USA from 1952.
Interesting movie from the red-scare period in America. In this movie the Sovjets invade the USA and nuke about any airfield they see, including San Fransisco, boulder dam and New York. During al this, a group of US citizens learn that a lazy citizenry invites invasion and occupation. Complimenting this lesson is the notion that the military is only as strong as its civilian support. Before the film is over each character has learned the hard way that freedom isn't free, eternal vigilance is the price of democracy and that it is extremely difficult to book a flight to Montana during a nuclear war.
Futhermore the movie consists of a lot of fighting (tanks, bombers etc) - funny thing is that this combat footage is historical combat footage from WW2, so you have American B-29 Superfortress heavy bombers attacking San Francisco and C-82 Packet transports drop "Enemy" paratroopers on Washington D.C.
Extra on this DVD is the movie "Red Nightmare" from 1962. This is an "educational movie" from the dept. of Defence in which a lazy American citizen ("just your average guy, it could be you!") who has taken his freedom for granted wakes up one morning to find out that the Communists have taken over America.
