synopsis follows. Russkies (1987) is an American story, out of the Cold War Era. In the State of Florida
U.S.A., three boys live their lives in a town; which
is also the home, to a U.S. Naval Station.
The three boys are Danny, Adam and Jason. Danny’s parents have officially signed
divorce papers. An informant, who works
at the U.S. Naval Station, contacted the U.S.S.R. and offered to exchange a
device. One night, a ship belonging to
the U.S.S.R. arrives, off the coast. The
informant is on the beach signaling the Russians aboard the ship. Three Russians board a raft, and, the raft
flips over on the way to the beach. The
informant decides to leave. A Russian
sailor named, Mischa, appears to be the lone survivor. The next morning, the three boys meet-up for
a day of fun. Danny, Adam and Jason use
a raft that, they hide. Unexpectedly, at
the location of the raft, Danny finds a naval manual from the U.S.S.R. They proceed to a small island that, is off
the coast. Furthermore, the island has
an abandoned bunker. The abandoned
bunker, is also, the official hang-out place for the group of friends. Upon landing at the beach, the raft hits a
deflated raft. Adam pulls the deflated
raft to the beach. Additionally and
unexpectedly, it turns out to be a raft from the U.S.S.R. Danny, Adam and Jason are convinced that; the
Russians are invading their small town.
Adam and Jason return, on the raft, to Adam’s house. Danny stays behind, at the abandoned
bunker. At Adam’s house, Adam’s father
successfully deflects their worries.
However, he keeps the U.S.S.R. naval manual. At the abandoned bunker, Mischa comes out of
hiding and captures Danny. Adam and
Jason return, and, they help Danny beat up Mischa. The three boys, or group of friends, turn the
table on Mischa. Mischa becomes their
prisoner. Surprisingly, while Mischa is
their prisoner, Adam and Jason start to befriend him. Danny is the lone dissenter. One day passes, and, the boys decide whether
or not; they should turn Mischa over to the authorities. Danny votes in favor, meanwhile, Adam and
Jason vote to protect Mischa.
Ultimately, Mischa is able to re-unite with the two other Russian
sailors. Their names are Boris and
Sulock. However, they still have to find
a way to escape U.S.
authorities, and, return to the U.S.S.R. ship; which is off the coast. At the same time; the parents of Danny, Adam
and Jason have sounded the alarm on a Russian invasion. The entire town, and the U.S. Naval Station,
is out looking for Russians. Director,
Rick Rosenthal, does a good job. The
story is a simple, but, it is a captivating fun adventure for the family. The writers do an equally good job. The story feels like the same old Cold War
Era story, but then, it is not.
Additionally; the writers were clever in writing something that is
captivating, and at the same time, something that is fun for the family. The officially recognized stars contribute
tremendously. They would be missed, if
they were not chosen. Overall, Russkies (1987) earns the rating of 7
out of 10.
