The Dawn of World War III

Soviet, Nicaraguan, and Cuban troops begin landing on the football field of a Colorado high school out of the blue. As soon as they land, the paratroopers attack the school, sending the teenagers running to the mountains. The teens have some weapons to protect themselves, but go through a difficult time dealing with the harsh winter as the Soviet KGB patrol is tracking them down. Problems arise when they kill a group of Soviet soldiers. They must stand up to the Soviet troop as the ‘Wolverines.’
