Red Dawn

A group of all-American high school kids form a small guerilla army called the ‘Wolverines’ when the United States is INVADED. The 1984 original starred Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, and Jennifer Grey . . . practically an ’80s brat-pack classic. And they were fighting Russians and Cubans who parachuted into the Midwest. This time you’ll have to settle for Chris Hemsworth from “Thor”, Josh Hutcherson from “The Hunger Games”, Josh Peck, Adrianne Palicki, and Connor Cruise . . . Tom Cruise’s adopted 17-year-old son. The action has been moved to Spokane, Washington, and since the Cold War is over, the bad guys are the North Koreans.
