* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Very much so, given that it was made at the start of the second wave of US/USSR aggression during the UsefulNotes/ColdWar and features rampant speculation regarding a worst-case scenario if the now-nonexistent Soviet Union were to attack America.

* UsefulNotes/ColdWar: This documentary was produced right at the start of the "Second Cold War" period; the Soviets [[UsefulNotes/SovietInvasionOfAfghanistan invaded Afghanistan]] later in the same year, and were displaying a far more aggressive, expansionist posture than before.
* FromRussiaWithNukes: Advances in Soviet nuclear capabilities are a central topic, specifically with its [=ICBMs=] and bombers. In discussing the development of the B-1 Lancer, the documentary notes that the Soviet Union already had a similar aircraft deployed--the Tu-22M "Backfire."
* PeaceThroughSuperiorFirepower: [[CaptainObvious No surprise there.]] The documentary seeks to convince its audience that ''In''ferior Firepower would provoke a nuclear war or compromise America's political clout.
* RedsWithRockets: Oh so ''many'' rockets. Compare this film and its perceptions of the Soviet military with the overview of military strategy offered on the ForcesWithFirepower page.
* YanksWithTanks: There's a number of mentions of non-nuclear weapons platforms, mostly within the context of defending against Soviet bombers.
