I remembered wanting to see this when you first posted the link but it didnt work for me. I just picked this up from the thrift store for $1. I see it is now free on Youtube. Hopefully it will be good.

I remember watching this on TV with my girlfriend when it aired in '83 and the realistic & frightening story which still resonates today. I recall the controversy it generated and wanted to watch it again with my wife, but couldn't find it streaming anywhere so I picked up a DVD copy on eBay, and we watched it last night.
Today's scary and uncertain international situation makes for an unsettling viewing experience. Living in a rural area similar to the movie's only added to the realism for us.
