As far as I know, there is no movie, there is only this trailer, but what a fine trailer it is. I mean, you don't have to see the movie, this trailer has got everything you could possibly want out of an action flick. It's just the best.

Although gun control is a touchy topic in many households, we can all hit the bull’s eye if we join together to educate the youth about the weapons that can either defend or destroy. - Sarah Neary, Russia TodayVia Oleg Volk
Blast From The Past
Scott sent me a link to a site about Nike anti-aircraft missile sites. Back during the cold war, we (the USA) set up a bunch of these, many times the number of BOMARC sites. Some Nike missiles used a conventional explosive, some used a nuclear warhead.

This video shows a four engine, propeller driven bomber being destroyed by a Nike missile. I wonder how they were able to record this. I imagine this was a test and the bomber was unmanned. The bomber could have been on autopilot, I mean autopilots have been around forever, but how did they get the plane far enough off the ground to engage the autopilot? And who was filming this? Another unmanned drone? And how far away would you have to be to ensure that the aircraft with the camera wasn't the one targeted by the missile? This is another fine example of the Cold War mentality gone wild.
Update: Clyde & IGOR got the shot.

For there is no difference between a small farmer in Bavaria feeding the Nazi war machine as a byproduct of his peaceful life, and a small Muslim businessman hiding a terrorist in his mosque. - Sanford Begley in a post on Classical ValuesIndirectly via Dustbury
