In a major stumbling block toward better international relations, America's most laughable police officers are sent to Russia to fight crime in this comedy. In Moscow, master criminal Konali (Ron Perlman) has marketed a new computer game that has an unusual hidden feature -- it allows him to bring down any security system controlled by a PC on which the game has been played, with a string of major robberies as the result. Russian Police Commandant Rakov (Christopher Lee) is at his wit's end about how to deal with the crisis, so he asks for help from the U.S. law enforcement community. However, Rakov's American allies turn out to be Lassard (George Gaynes), Harris (G.W. Bailey), and the rest of the crew from the Police Academy (among them Michael Winslow, David Graf, and Leslie Easterbrook). Claire Forlani also appears in a small role as a Russian beauty. This was the seventh and last film in the Police Academy series, following the departure of franchise loyalist Bubba Smith. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Set in the summer of 1941, this commendable wartime drama looks at a group of young, green recruits who are inadvertently cut off from their regiment and follows their exploits as they turn into mature soldiers. At first the group is much taken with their macho weapons but when they encounter the enemy deep in the Lithuanian forest they are caught off-guard. Once they escape that unfortunate scrape they run into another instance of humiliation, and then they start to grit their teeth and shape up. After they are cut off from their base they learn how to steal weapons, fight a guerrilla war, and hijack vehicles when they are needed. Their numbers diminish on an irregular basis but they also try to recruit others as they go along, in one realistic skirmish after another. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
