An American colonel with a temper problem is assigned to a patrol post in the border of West Germany and Czechoslovakia. He soon gets into a conflict with the Soviet colonel who is in charge of the other side of the border.
At about half an hour into the movie I thought it showed some promise as a comedy, but found it strange that the director seemed to ignore any comic potential, conducting the film with such dramatic tautness one would think this was another First Blood installment. Anyway, the promise was not fulfilled, and the film ends with a pacifist message which assumes that economic factors are irrelevant, wars beig merely the product of certain people's psychological immaturity.
