Rocket Attack USA

Actors: Monica Davis, John McKay, Phillip St. George, Edward Czerniuk 
Rating: 0 out of 10, The latest in my journey through 100 bad sci fi films was really two movies – both horrible. The first half is a spy story of an American spy infiltrating the Soviet Union following the Sputnik launch. He’s charged with finding out if the Russki’s are going to attack the USA and falls into bed with the defense minister’s mistress which you would think is a good thing. He tries to unsuccessfully blow up the lone rocket he finds. The second half has those sneaky Russians launching the missile to take out New York. The movie is full of Cold War paranoia which seems almost naïve looking back on now. It is definitely a propaganda piece aimed squarely at the evil commies and comical in its amateurish tact.

MVP: Monica Davis as he ill-fated Russian spy
