Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.5|5.0 Starsììì
Red Dawn—a strong, worth-watching war movie about the Soviet Union
occupying America.
Storyline
Jed (Patrick Swayze) drives
his brother Matt (Charlie Sheen) and a friend to high school. Later, a teacher,
Mr. Teasdale (Frank McRae), notices paratroopers parachuting to the ground and
starts to question the action. The paratroopers kill him. Students flee from
the school building amid heavy gunfire. Jed rescues his brother, Matt, as well
as some other boys and they make a successful getaway in his truck. The rest of
the movie follows these young boys as they organize and use guerrilla warfare
tactics against the Russian invasion.
