Red Dawn

Overview

In Dan Bradley’s Red Dawn, a surprising remake of the 1984 classic starring Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen, a city wakes to the alarming sight of foreign parachuting shocktroops dropping from the sky. The USA has been invaded by North Korea and Spokena, Washington, is their initial target.

Determined to fight back rather than surrender, a group of young teenagers, including US Marine on leave, Jed (Chris Hemsworth) and his football player brother, Matt (Josh Peck), take refuge in nearby woodland; training and organizing themselves into a tactical, guerrilla group.

Taking influence from their high school mascot they become the Wolverines, and hope to band together to take down their captors.

Used to parties and nights in playing Call Of Duty, the teenagers must live the virtual lives they live from the comfort of their sofas, with real bullets, and enemies that fire back.

Red Dawn is in cinemas now and also stars Josh Hutcherson from The Hunger Games and our own Isabel Lucas.
