Invasion, U.S.A. (1952) with bonus film, Rocket Attack U.S.A. (1960)

A double-feature of the Cold War era: Invasion, U.S.A. (1952) follows a group of Americans that have gathered at a New York bar when they discover that their country is under a Soviet invasion. In what could be their last moments on earth, each return to their respective lives and reconsider what is truly important to them. Its companion feature, Rocket Attack, U.S.A. (1960), takes place deep within enemy territory. American secret agent John Manston infiltrates the Soviet Union and learns they are launching a surprise attack on the U.S.A. via an intercontinental ballistic missile. What follows is a race against time to warn the U.S. government! Born from an age of anti-Communist sentiment, these films serve as dramatic time capsules of the Cold War, when the Red Scare era in Hollywood was in full swing and suspected Communists were blacklisted and excluded from the industry.
