Below the Ice. Buried in History. The Cold War Begins Again.

Nomination Year: 2024

SYNOPSIS: In the aftermath of WWII, while the U.S. was wasting time recruiting ex-Nazi rocket scientists and creating a missile program, the Soviets nabbed the genetic scientists and started a supersoldier program. They created three neigh-unstoppable supersoldiers and, when the Cuban Missile Crisis broke out, they sent them to terrorize New York City. Unfortunately for the Russians, their plane crashed in remote Alaska and they ended up terrorizing a remote arctic research station before freezing to death. Fifty years later, brilliant scientist Dominic Purcell goes looking for them to prove they really existed, backed by an evil megacorp that figures it could use its own supersoldiers. Dominic finds them, they thaw, they kill everybody, they escape, Dominic tacks them across the tundra. Will the supersoldiers reach New York and complete their mission? Will Dominic resolve his daddy issues? Will anybody care? The answer to all of these questions is a resounding nyet!
