	''Amerika'' is a television miniseries that aired on ABC in 1987. The miniseries dramatizes life in the United States of America ten years after a bloodless Soviet takeover. Directed by Donald Wrye, the miniseries stars [[Kris Kristofferson]], as a maverick American political leader who plays a role in the resistance, [[Robert Urich]] as a American administrator who collaborates with the Soviets, and [[Sam Neill]] as a Soviet KGB officer who supervises the region of America the story takes place in. Unlike the similarly themed ''[[Red Dawn]]'', the weapons and armor seen used by Soviet and United Nations Special Service Unit (UNSSU) forces in the miniseries were mostly American-made. The miniseries has since been released on VHS, but there has not been a proper DVD release in the US.		'''''Amerika''''' is a television miniseries that aired on ABC in 1987.
