You'd be shocked at how often I guess at a movie- often correctly- having not seen it, or having seen a few clips.

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

If it helps, this is a true story [hollywood style, but still].
That should really narrow it down when you realize who's being referenced in the first quote.

The latter might refer to the Cuban Missile Crisis, and/or Mutually Assured Destruction. With 2 good brothers mentioned, this might be a reference to....
"JFK".
