As the Soviet Union was beginning to disillusion by the massive powers of the western world, General Nikolai Krukov (Andrew Divoff) and Colonel Anatoly Cherdenko (Tim Curry) with Dr. Gregor Zelinsky (Peter Stormare) makes a last ditch effort to save the Union by using Zelinsky's latest invention, a time machine. Cherdenko, Krukov, and Zelinski time warp to the 1920s, and kill off Albert Einstein (Smokey Miles). As they come back to their original time, they realize that the Soviet Union is a better faction than the western world, and Cherdenko becomes the Premier of the Soviet Union. But, another faction is now rising to power, The Empire of the Rising Sun, and they intend to invade the Soviet Union. With three factions fighting, only one can be the one standing to rule the world.
