In this strange Frankenheimer picture, tensions between East and West in the Cold War are stoked due to a feud between two members on opposite sides and their personal beef. The Fourth War is a story that is acted and directed extremely well, but comes apart at the seams due to one important flaw. The writing is just not up to the task and lets the rest of the project down. Check out the full episode to see just why it falls a bit flat.
Despite that, the movie is worth a watch. There is more potential in the concept than is shown here, but that doesn't make it a waste of time. The Fourth War is still a fun time overall. It just could have been more than the sum of its parts.
