Powerplay (1990)
Winter 1988: Der Eiserne Vorhang steht kurz vor dem Zusammenfall. Zwei Veteranen sehen das aber ganz anders. Der US-Colonel Jack Knowles tritt seinen Dienst bei einer neuen Einheit an, denn als ausgedienten Vietnamveteran weiß man nicht wo man ihn noch einsetzen soll. Auf der anderen Seite kommandiert der Oberst Valachev ein Afghanistan-Veteran, die Truppen des Ostens. Da die beiden sich immer wieder gegenseitig provozieren kommt es zum Kleinkrieg....
