• Ice Station Zebra?  "The first thing we do, we kill all the lawyers smash the shit out of the radio" was a classic Alistair MacLean trope.

• idk the movie described in this thread sounds different.
  
  There is a Cold War thriller, which for the life of me I can’t remember the name…. Anyways, about a radar station north of the Arctic Circle, probably the DEW line, in the dead of the winter.
  
  Classic plot: a bad guy, presumably a Soviet operative, thrashes the station, including the only short wave radio. Left several dead operators but our hero somehow survives.
  
  Our hero finds a damaged resistor on the radio, and proceeded to fix it with the graphite from a #2 pencil.

• Crabs! (2021)
  
  
  Dude in a wheelchair builds himself an exoskeleton and goes to the prom party, though the storyline is about Crabs!
