This was a fun Canadian post-apocalypse flick. I´ve wanted to see this one since i somehow got the movie poster back in the late 80s.
Def-Con 4 was directed by Paul Donovan and Digby Cook and stars Tim Choate, John Walsch, Lenore Zann (Happy Bithday to Me, Visiting Hours), Maury Chaykin, Kevin King, Kate Lynch and Jeff Pustil.
