Set in the future (i.e., today), when the United States is committing
aggression in Mexico and suppressing freedom at home [...] "Ice"
follows a group of urban guerrillas as they plot sabotage, proselytize
before the unconvinced middle, make love with or make allowances for
one another, and live through one night of violent terror.

A pioneering work that blurred the boundaries between fictional and
documentary styles, Ice was hailed by filmmaker and Village Voice
critic Jonas Mekas as “the most original and most significant American
narrative film” of the late sixties. An underground revolutionary
group struggles against internal strife which threatens its security
and stages urban guerrilla attacks against a fictionalized fascist
regime in the United States. Interspersed throughout the narrative are
rhetorical sequences that explain the philosophy of radical action and
serve to restrain the melodrama inherent in the “thriller” genre.
