I grew up in the ’80s during the height of the Cold War. It may not be so clear today, but back then, there was no doubt that Russia (nay, the Soviet Union) was the enemy. The nuclear arms race was in full swing, and everyone was afraid that The Big One could drop at any time. This constant fear of a Soviet nuclear attack pervaded everyday American life, and it is a driving force behind Joseph Ruben’s Dreamscape. The sci-fi/fantasy thriller turns 40 years-old in 2024.
