The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming! (1966)

A Soviet submarine runs aground near a quaint New England island, prompting its commander to instruct Lieutenant Rozanov to resolve the situation swiftly to avoid diplomatic chaos. In a bid to prevent panic among the island's inhabitants, Rozanov enlists the help of locals, including the police chief and a visiting TV writer, while spinning a tale that the crew are merely lost Norwegian sailors. As misunderstandings and comedic situations unfold, tensions rise, leading to a humorous exploration of Cold War anxieties and the absurdity of miscommunication.
