This is an economic conspiracy theory dragged out to feature film length where you have to accept the central premise and disregard all other factors such as reality. But hey, that's what a lot of conspiracy theory films are all about anyway. This film was a favourite of a nut job acquaintance of mine which probably explains why I don't like it. The ending is especially ludicrous: The world financial system melts down, the western nations are in chaos, there's rioting in the streets, millions will die, cities being destroyed all on TV screens behind Fonda and Kristofferson and what do they do? Shrug their shoulders, embrace, laugh a bit and all to soppy melodramatic music. You would think their response would be "world in ruins...oh holy crap!"
