Profile of Red Dawn

The mood of Red Dawn is suspenseful, rough, and exciting. The plot centers around terrorism, social relations, and a heroic mission. It is an action, adventure, and war movie. In approach, Red Dawn is serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in a concentration camp, in the mountains, and in the countryside. The setting is Cuba, Russia, and South America. Red Dawn happens in the 1980s. It is especially suggested for a boys' night.

Summary of Red Dawn

In the heartland of America, Russian and Cuban paratroopers begin to drop outside while classes go on in the high school. When the soldiers begin killing everyone in sight, local teens take to the hills to avoid the new totalitarian regime established in their little town and, as we later learn, throughout the world. As country folk, they are well familiarized with survival tactics and hunting, which allows them to carry out sophisticated acts of military sabotage, upsetting the balance of power in town with their guerilla warfare.

As a movie, it really rates three stars I suppose, because it is sort of entertaining, in its own weirdly-sincerely way. Made by well-known gun enthusiast and raptured NRA promoter John Milius, (And sometime talented movie director; he made the...
Few films have ever asked me to suspend disbelief so many times as "Red Dawn." The plot is ludicrous, with a group of poorly armed, untrained and mostly whiny high schoolers launching successful ambushes against a Soviet army bent on cutting itself...
