...earth by using "Steulth" technologies which the Soviets do not have. With a range of almost 2000 miles, it may be launched from airplanes, trucks, ships and subs.

Around these facts, director Robert M. Young '49 constructs a multifaceted tale of cultural conflict, in which the main events are retold from perspective after perspective.
