Red Dawn
Description
"Dawn comes up like thunder." —Archer Winsten, New York Post
Red Dawn opens with one of the most shocking scenes ever filmed; on a peaceful morning, through the windows of a high school classroom, students see paratroopers land on the varsity football field: the invasion of the United States has begun!
As their town is overrun by foreign nationals, eight teenagers escape to the mountains. Taking the name of their high school football team, the Wolverines, they wage an unremitting guerilla action in defense of their parents, their friends and their country.
Director John Milius (The Wind and The Lion, Dillinger) spares no expense in bringing an absolutely gripping sense of reality to the chilling action scenes. Scripted by Milius and Kevin Reynolds, this outstanding film features some of today's most popular stars, including Patrick Swayze (Ghost), Charlie Sheen (Platoon), C. Thomas Howell (The Hitcher), Lea Thompson ("Caroline in the City"), Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing) and veteran actor Harry Dean Stanton (Alien). When it comes to thrilling entertainment, Red Dawn wins the war with a vengeance!
