In the film, "Master Sergeant Sam Harper (David Fralick) is tragically killed in a horrible accident in Kuwait after his helicopter is shot down by friendly fire. Sam’s charred remains are shipped back to his hometown of Twin Rivers, just as the town is preparing for its annual Fourth of July celebration. While being stored at his sister’s house, Sam’s dead body becomes reanimated and goes on a patriotic killing spree over the course of the holiday weekend."
"Uncle Sam is an over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek satire about American’s obsession with military dominance and the great lengths the nation will go in order to appeal to the country’s youth."
Uncle Sam was directed by Lustig from a script written by the iconic Larry Cohen. The film also stars Robert Forster, Timothy Bottoms, Bo Hopkins, P.J. Soles, and Isaac Hayes.
