A one-man army comes to the rescue of the United States when a spy attempts an invasion.
Invasion U.S.A. is a quintessential mid-80s Chuck Norris action vehicle with all the trappings of the era: a thin, barely functional plot about a Soviet-led invasion thwarted by a single unstoppable hero, wooden acting across the board, flat and utilitarian cinematography that serves the action without distinction, and a premise recycled from countless Cold War actioners. The ending delivers the requisite showdown with sufficient B-movie energy to edge slightly above average for its genre context, but the film is largely formulaic and derivative even within the Norris canon.
