> It didn't seem to help Tom Cruise and Patrick Swayze in the 1984 movie Red Dawn ;) Interesting NATO is disbanded in that movie, and the harvest in the Ukraine suffers for some reason (blight? war?).

Of course. The DEW line was mean to warn against a Soviet nuclear attack, but in that movie no such attack occurs.

Actually the downed jet pilot mentions DC, NYC, and a few other cities getting nuked.

Oh, that's totally possible. It's been a long time since I've seen the movie, and I just recall that nukes didn't feature in the plot at all.
