Video game. Command and conquer red alert. Still holds up 30 some years later and the political commentary is still relevant (somehow)

Nah the plot was,is and remains absolutely bonkers with lots of gratification and hot women.The Allied campaign ends with us arresting the premier while he is in his underwear:))

Never take the plot seriously, well at least in Red Alert,Tiberium series tries to lean more towards a more serious approach but it has it's own campy moments.

Yea they are meant to be taken lightly. They wouldn't work as anything too serious. Imagine c&c generals taking itself seriously lol. But the stereotypes and subtle jabs are part of the fun.

Specifically it is Command & Conquer Red Alert 3, with it and the expansion Uprising being the absolute best c&c games.

I appreciate your correction...but no. RA1 and the OG are still the best (especially after the remaster).

Not a movie- a game. Red Alert 3.

The Command & Conquer series used live action cutscenes. In the early games they were low budget but an interesting change to rendered graphics. By the time of Red Alert 3, they were actually investing serious money.

Imagine Tim Curry, JK Simmons, and George Takei as the leaders of the USSR, US, and Japanese Empire each bringing their own flavour of ham.
