When this film came out, it was decried by both critics and science fiction fans as being preposterous because in America such an event could never happen.
Now the conspiracy theorists say that our current President is ready to have events occur which will bring this movie to a realization.
I have always been surprised that this movie has never come out on tape or DVD as a warning that it COULD happen here.
The movie is flawed in many ways, but having to show id at airports, being screened at airports, on roads, at bus & train stations was unthinkable 40 years ago, yet it has occurred.
Sinclair Lewis was right. We did not learn from his book or take heed the warning of this film.
Politicians once they have power will do anything to keep it, even usurp the Constitution which they have sworn to protect and defend.
