(Speaking Russian)

Speak English, comrade.

Remember that is about the only freedom you do not have in this town.

it's American Town.

Americans, they have too many freedoms.

There is another thing you must remember comrade.

One day it will be your mission to destroy...

those bourgeois capitalist freedoms.

Frightening isn't?

From all appearances this community could be in Iowa, California.

Or Tennessee. It looks like an American Town.

As American as apple pie and ice cream.

As a matter of fact you can find apple pie here and ice cream too.

But appearances are deceptive.

This is not an American town.

However it may be assumed that such a town does exist.

Shrouded in secrecy and protected by utmost security.

Deep behind the Iron Curtain.

You might call this a college town communist style.

As part of a long-range plan to destroy our free Way of life.

These young communists are studying the...

economic, political and religious institutions.

That is a very heartbeat of America.

The courses here in this strangest of all schools.

Espionage as a science.

Propaganda as an art.

Sabotage as a business.

This nameless American city.

Deep in the vast soviet union.

Stands as a symbol of Russian treachery.

Of long-range communist conspiracy.

This town may appear to be an accurate...

likeness of a typical American community.

But it's a fraud. It isn't free.

Now let's take a look at a genuine American town.

And a genuine American.

I want you to meet Jerry Donovan.

He's proud of his country but prone to take his liberties for granted.

Well he's aware that someone must assume responsibility for the liberties.

For our free way of life.

Yep, when there's a job to be done.

Jerry, like so many Americans is f to ask: Why me?

RED NIGHTMARE

Anybody home?

Hi there, partners.

Hey, What is this?

Don't you remember you have a you and your committee meeting tonight.

I just want to make sure you could make it.

Yeah that will they don't expect me.

I told them that your folks were coming here for dinner tonight.

Oh honey mom and dad are due in for another week yet.

Now you have plenty of time for the beef.

Helen you don't understand.

I knew that your folks weren't gonna be here tonight.

You knew?

- Then why you... - I just sold that to the fellas.

to keep them going tonight.

Beside my favorite TV show it on.

Would you let me have. Would you?

Oh Jerry you missed the last meeting.

Don't you think you should be there?

Honey nothing ever happens at those meetings.

Only a bunch of guys sitting around listening to themselves talk.

How the important thing that really had me worried.

What's for dinner tonight? Stew or hamburger?

- Oh, boy. - You like that?

That smells good.

Jerry would you say that I was a mag.

No more than average.

Well I'm afraid I'm going to be just this once.

Why?

This morning you told me that you wouldn't be...

able to make the PTA meeting next Wednesday.

- Right - That is right.

Old Mrs. Potter reminds me of a lovesick hippo.

Besides Wednesday's my bowling night.

Gary can't you think of anything besides bowling and then television.

No way talk about that PTA you think it was...

some kind of rush rush government meeting too.

How determine the future of the nation.

They can struggle along without me.

Well, what about Jimmy father-son banquet tomorrow night?

He's been counting on after weeks you know that.

Well, now that is different.

Wouldn't miss that for the whole world.

Besides I wrote my speech already.

Oh yeah I'm cursing all week you listen to this.

Members of two plates gathered here tonight.

To discuss the ways and means of finding...

homes for two Perrine six new collie pups. How's that sound?

- Pretty bad. - Yeah.

Now I can give them applauding are

Just one more question, just one.

What about your reserve meeting.

You missed the last. One.. what do you did?

All right, I'll tell you what.

I will talk to my secretary in the morning.

And find out if my schedule will permit me to go to the next one.

Would you quit bugging me?

Bill Martin you're asking to stay for dinner.

Hey that's good.

I wanted to talk to Bill about how his team can beat State this year.

Again?

Well he didn't listen to me last time.

Ah, Bill.

Listen a play you've got to watch out for.

Now.

Their quarterback takes a snap back.

Right.

Hands off the left half, who goes why.

Hey, mom!

Linda it's putting coffee on her strawberry.

Linda put her coffee in strawberry.

All right, all right you finish your dinner now.

Good night, beautiful.

- Coffee in your strawberry? - Oh, I all know.

Hey, go to bed.

There's nothing on your mind?

How can you tell?

By breakup a battle.

Bill, listen to play you've really got to look out for.

All right, fellows, have a time. Linda.

Well...

Bill and I have a serious consideration to the situation.

Taking in to come...

our ages and... Oh, daddy, mother.

We want to get married.

I'm sorry to be spend you so suddenly, mother.

I suppose it came as an awful surprise.

Really sweetheart.

Congratulations, Bill. I'm not might added.

You're a very lucky young man.

Daddy?

Well, everybody's through kissing each other.

I think there are a few things we're added on.

And I'll get me wrong.

Bill, I like you, you know.

I'm not against a marriage.

In matter of fact I think it'd be a fine idea.

- In four or five years - In four or five years?

You're both too young to get married right now.

Mr. Donavan I'm going to marry your daughter.

And I'm not gonna wait for five years to do.

Thanks for dinner. I'll talk to you.

- Goodnight, Bill. - Bill.

- Linda. - Honey.

Now let them go.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Sweet dreams.

Picture of an American, retiring for the night.

Going to bed in comfort, without worries or problems.

Well, almost without problems.

Linda and Bill may mean momentary worry.

But in America there's always tomorrow.

With its bright promise and problems we'll work out.

Somehow things always workout.

Now in a few minutes Jerry Donovan will be asleep.

But tonight instead of the sweet dreams his wife wished him.

Let's give Jerry a nightmare.

A real red nightmare.

I remember that Russian town we saw earlier.

The town that looked like it belonged...

in Kansas or Ohio or Vermont?

Let's lift that town out of the Soviet Union.

Let's superimpose it on Jerry's hometown.

And those precious freedoms Jerry so complacently accepts.

Let's see how many freedoms Jerry might lose.

If suddenly he had to live under communist domination.

You try to be a hurry up with a coffee?

Alright alright I've only got one two hands.

Jerry's a little confused.

Things seem different, and they should,

because freedom has suddenly vanished.

- You permit number, please? - Permit number?

I don't have a permit I just want to call my house want to talk to my wife.

No personal calls about a permit from the commissar.

You will get off the line, please.

Operator?

- Hey, what gives? - come on, comrade.

Now that you become acquainted with...

the enlightened communist system.

In contrast to the outdated capitalistic way of life.

You are now prepared for the next step of your indoctrination.

Which will be most difficult.

When the moral fiber in the United States weakens.

And the economy collapses under the...

pressure of competitive coexistence.

You will assume control.

You will move into every phase of...

American political and economic life.

It will be your responsibility comrades.

To purge the minds of the reactionary Americans.

So they will welcome the enlightened Soviet system.

And conform without resistance.

To the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Again my congratulations, comrades.

Continue the good work.

- Say could you tell me what... - Yes comrade.

Nothing, nothing. Never mind.

God thank, god you're all right.

I have something to do.

See, I'm sorry, I'm late. Something strange happen.

Something very strange we're standing in the Plaza...

Never mind that.

But you are disturbing the children.

Their meals that be consumed without interruption.

I don't blame you for being sore.

But I'll make it up to you.

Tomorrow night we'll have an early dinner at the steak house.

Take the kids the drive-in movie.

That would be quite impossible.

Tomorrow night you've been selected to address the parent teachers committee.

What? there must be some mistake, they don't want me.

What would I talk about?

How Jimmy's team lost a little league championship last year?

Subject of your address has already been selected for you.

The theme will be how the new communist life benefits children.

Wait a minute what if I don't want to talk about that?

What if I don't want to talk at all?

I would advise you not to object.

Recently the party learned that you were on the debate team won in school.

They're very disturbed that you kept this back to secret common.

Experience. because I needed by the part don't make very good use.

Look at the kitchen, you look in the back.

I'll be upstairs.

Hey! what is this? Where you think you're going?

We have no time for explanations.

Already we are 15 minutes behind schedule.

Here who sent your why?

you're not gonna take another step until I see a warrant.

Warrant? we need no warrant.

As a member of the young Communist League, your daughter,

has volunteered for farm work.

She's to be transported immediately.

The trunk is waiting outside.

Wait a minute, let me get something straight.

- You say my daughter volunteered? - That is correct, here's a signature.

Requesting transport to the people's collect.

Signature in that piece of paper is false.

everything you've said is a lie, because my daughter would never...

leave here of her own free will.

Sargent!

You've got no right to be in this house.

I'm gonna give you just 10 seconds to get out of here.

Daddy, it's true daddy.

I did volunteer for farm work.

Brenda why?

the part convinced me that I should free myself...

as a lingering bridge wire influence a family life.

I'm ready.

Honey.

Do not interfere. It is for my own good.

Comrade Donovan, do not think that your...

deviation is remark shall be overlooked.

It will be reported in the proper authorities.

Hey, what's quota business?

That's today's where comrade.

hello Pete, having a little trouble.

Bertha doesn't seem to be in a working mood.

Let must be fixed immediately.

you have a quota to fulfill you fail all be held responsible.

I'm doing the best I can.

Quote or no quote. I can't do anything go I get this fixed.

When I advise you work during your lunch hour.

The quota must be met.

Comrade commissar isn't interested in excuses.

yeah overslept. The kids get off to Sunday school all right.

What a beautiful day.

They get back from Sunday school why...

are we all pile into the car and go over...

Hey, hey, what is this? Are going on a trip?

You could call it a trip after the children are going away to a state school.

Oh wait a minute. Wait just a minute!

I don't know what's happened to you. Or what they've done to change

but you're not gonna send these kids away.

Oh she's not sending us away it was our idea.

We learned in school that home life...

does not encourage the growth of...

the collective character which the part...

wishes to develop in the young people.

It's your fault. Should have spent more time training us to think along part lines.

As a member of the Young Pioneers it will be my duty to report you.

You better listen to me, all of you.

I want to hear any more talk about state schools.

part line, a collective character and deviationism.

it's gonna be a family again and I know just where to start.

If you were going to Sunday school you're going right now.

Mama, tell him!

- No used the argue. - Mom!

This time I'm going to overall a part.

Come on.

Daddy!

They poisoning of kids with those lines long enough.

Now you're really gonna find out the truth all about.

We tried to tell you, daddy. But you won't listen.

There's no more Sunday school.

Please, take us out, Daddy. Everybody's looking at us.

Somebody made a big mistake.

Come on we're gonna get straight right now, come on.

Come on inside. Come on Jimmy.

What's happen? What have they done?

Keep your voice down, comrade.

Otherwise I shall have to report you.

Who put these displays in here?

This is a house of worship.

You are mistaken. This is the People's Museum.

- And I am warning once more. - This place is a lie.

Everything about it is false.

This this was not invented by a Russian.

That's name was Belle, Alexander Graham Bell.

And he was an American.

Get that, comrade.

Everything on this table is this phony as the town.

The ROC system you call communism.

Comrade Donavan...

you're accused of the following crimes against the state...

subversion, deviationism, and treason.

You've been given this opportunity to make a...

public confession of your treacherous violation.

Just a minute, it's supposed to be a trial.

Who says I'm guilty of anything.

- Where's your proof? - State needs no proof.

It is up to you to prove your innocence.

How can I prove my innocence if I don't know what I'm accused.

Subversion against whom?

Deviationism from what?

Treason against what government?

Prisoner has been given his opportunity to confess I ask now that he be sentenced.

Now wait a minute. you've got to listen to me.

They say I'm guilty of crimes against the state.

But it's the state that committed the crimes.

They broke into my home without a warrant.

Armed soldiers, they took away my daughter.

Desecrated a house of worship.

Placed religious objects with the phony displays they called it a museum.

Even tried to turn my own kids against me.

My wife.

Ellen you were there.

You know that what I'm saying is true.

Tell them.

This document contains your sign statement.

That proves that your husband try to turn your children...

against the communist state. Is the statement true?

Yes.

Hellen?

Lieutenant Martin.

Comrade Kushesnov.

Comrade Malenko.

These documents contain your signed statements.

They prove that comrade Donavan is guilty of deviationism...

and treason and I want you to tell the court...

if these statements are correct. There will ask you each in turn.

- Comrade Kushesnov. - Yes statement is true.

- Comrade Malenko. - True.

- Lieutenant. - statement is true.

There's no need to continue this trial.

The evidence against the prisoner overwhelming.

I ask now that he be sentenced immediately.

How to see those statements?

Maybe I'll have a few words to say my own defense.

The prisoner will step back into the box.

There is no need to examine a statements of the witnesses.

Prisoner stands condemned by his own words.

He has challenged the supreme authority of the state.

He has questioned its practices and its decisions.

And by these actions he has proved himself...

to be a dangerous enemy to the proletariat.

He must be treated as such.

As an ugly remnant of a diseased bourgeois class.

He must be eradicated before the contagion...

can spread.

Comrade Donavan you were hereby sentenced shot.

How are done?

Comrade Donavan do you know why you're here?

- I can guess. - Your every last requests.

Yes we really need these?

I don't think I'll be going anywhere.

Nevertheless I'm afraid they're necessary.

Now we're done. Haven't you been convicted of crimes...

against the supreme communist government?

Being an enemy of the state you must be liquidated.

I have been commissioned to carry out your sentence.

- But no firing squad? - I'm afraid not.

However the last favor from the government.

You are hereby granted one final chance to cut your crimes.

If you wish a recorder will be someone to take down your statement.

I have a statement to make all right but you can deliver it.

You just tell your government that someday,

its own people are gonna get wise to.

Someday there's gonna be enough holes in that Iron Curtain...

that all of your people will be able to escape to freedom.

Be able to build a wall strong enough to hold.

My own countrymen once said:

Can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Believe me you communists can't keep fooling the entire world.

Can't even keep fooling your own people.

Because the news about communism is getting around.

And it's only another word slave.

Don't worry Jerry.

That bullet will never reach you.

Because it's time to bring you back from your red nightmare.

What you have seen is not entirely fiction.

Greater brutality is taking place right now...

In countries which have been swallowed up by the Communist machine.

We know that... Jerry is waking.

Let's see if his dream has impressed them.

- Ellen. - Yes, darling.

Helen, I...

The kids probably stop the eggs, would you mind cereal?

Cereal be fine, just fine.

I get. Thanks.

Good morning.

Wow, good morning.

Hey Daddy. You will buy my space helmet?

Oh what?

He's got some wide open spaces to outer space.

Oh yeah, is he?

Yeah, I guess we can put you in orbit all right.

You get a space helmet.

- Hello there. - Hi Daddy.

- Hi, Mr. Donavan. - Bill.

You two kids don't have this car in shape by now.

I don't think you ever will.

Uh, like talk some more about that marriage business.

Better catch me while I'm in a good mood.

Oh, daddy.

We got something to tell you.

- Oh you haven't run off... - No that we haven't done.

We had decided wait. Not five years.

Gonna least I finished my hitch in the service.

That's a wise decision, Bill.

Yes, indeed I think that's a very wise decision.

How about some breakfast.

- Good idea. - Let's go.

Gary knows now, so you'll never forget it.

Responsibilities are a privilege. An inherent American right.

The strength of our nation,

The bright hopes of a free world...

are founded on the dedication of individual Americans.

People who guarantee freedom.

By standing ready to fight against aggression.

Against the Communist attempts at world enslavement.

Freedom is not hereditary It must be earned.

Freedom has a price and it's price is vigilance.

It's price is responsibility.

Not only of government.

But of every citizen who salutes our flag.

Those who serve as a part of our nation's armed might.

and those who have served.

They guarantee freedoms continued existence.

Freedom.

No single word and all the languages of mankind.

Has come to mean so much.

Freedom to enjoy the simple things of life.

In the circle of family and friends.

Freedom to work at a vocation of our choosing.

To vote an open election.

For the candidate we believe best qualified.

To come to go as we please.

Freedom owned property.

To enjoy the priceless heritage of life, liberty.

And the pursuit of happiness.

To marry, raise a family.

With belief in the dignity of the human spirit.

To study in the field of our choice.

To speak our beliefs, the worship God.

These freedoms that spell America.

They represent a way of life that has become the...

farthest advancement of mankind on this planet.

To prevent communism from consuming the entire free world.

There stands but one man.

That man is you.
