I was wondering if any of you remember a movie that premiered on TV in the early 80's. It was called World War 3 and starred David Soul (of the original Salem's Lot fame) and Cathy Lee Crosby. It was set in Alaska near the pipeline in the future. The Russians were starved for energy and sent a Spetsnaz unit to capture the pipeline and due to weather only a National Guard unit commanded by David (supported by hot Cathy of course) with only small arms was available to oppose them. The battle for the pumping station was pretty good. Unfortunately, in the end, the Russians win and the President "pushes the button." If you can still find it; It is worth watching (even if the "good guys" lose).
