www.youtube.com/v/J2LG-ASco6o&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dawn Red Dawn is a 1984 film by John Milius about an invasion of the United States by the Soviet Union, Cuba and other Communist Central American armies, and the resulting guerrilla actions of a group of American high school students in the town of Calumet, Colorado. The movie features Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey, and Powers Boothe. Red Dawn was the first movie to be released with a Motion Picture Association of America PG-13 rating.[1] At one time, Red Dawn was considered the most violent film by the Guinness Book of Records and The National Coalition on Television Violence, with a rate of 134 acts of violence per hour, or 2.23 per minute.[2] MGM has announced that Red Dawn will be remade "keeping in mind the post-9/11 world that we're in".[1][3] Dan Bradley has been announced as the director with Carl Ellsworth writing the updated screenplay.[1] The plot of the movie is based on an idea that a series of calamities in the late 1980s -- including the worst harvest in the USSR since the 1930s, worldwide economic problems, and the dissolution of NATO due to political infighting -- resulted in the Soviet Union and Cuba invading an unprepared and mostly solitary United States in 1990, igniting World War III. The larger war is mostly ignored and the film focuses on the lives of a group of young people who become partisans, engaging in guerrilla warfare to resist the resulting occupation. In the small Colorado town of Calumet, a normal fall morning is interrupted by an invasion of Cuban and Soviet paratroopers in the empty fields behind the local high school. As the paratroopers begin their attack, a small group of teenagers obtains weapons and supplies and flee to the nearby mountains. Led by Jed Eckert, his brother Matt, and their moody ally Robert, they begin a resistance against the Soviet-allied occupation force. The group calls itself the Wolverines after their school's team/mascot[1] and proceeds to attack the occupying forces using ambushes, sniper attacks, booby traps, guerrilla-style bombings on Soviet positions in the town itself, and raids on the occupiers' supply depots and convoys. Over time, the Wolverines are joined by a downed Air Force fighter pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Tanner (Boothe), who gives them a brief description of the conflict so far and instructs them in more formal military tactics. The Wolverines later liberate a "political prisoner camp" where the occupation force has rounded up citizens whom they feel might resist the occupation. Eventually, the Wolverines make a foray to the war's front lines, at a Rocky Mountain pass where M1 Abrams and T-72 tanks are engaging each other. This skirmish results in the deaths of Lt. Col. Tanner and Arturo "Aardvark" Mondragon. As the result of escalating guerrilla attacks, the Soviet field commanders now view the Wolverines as a serious threat. Initially the occupiers had tried terror tactics, executing groups of civilians following every Wolverine attack, to intimidate the local population and the Wolverines into halting their attacks. However, this tactic backfired resulting in the civilians lending increasing support to the |Resistance. Following a rise in popular support for the Wolverines, Strelnikov, a Soviet counter-resistance specialist, arrives to declare that there will be no more reprisals against civilians. Instead the specialist sends Spetsnaz commandos into the mountains to eliminate the Wolverines. This new strategy fails when the commandos are ambushed and killed by the Wolverines. Following the ambush on the commandos, the group finds a tracking device among the dead soldiers. Daryl Bates, the son of the collaborating mayor of the town, admits that the Soviets had forced him to swallow a signal emitter, explaining that he only did it because he was tortured (after being handed over to the Soviets by his own father). Jed shoots the sole Russian survivor of the commando squad, but is unable to bring himself to kill his friend. Robert then executes Daryl without emotion. The Wolverines break camp out of fear of additional raids by the Soviets. Things become increasingly hard for the Wolverines; their morale has eroded as the war of attrition takes its toll on their numbers. The Soviet occupation forces are pushing them to the breaking point, although the Soviets' hopes for keeping the civilian population cowed into complacency and unable to fight back have all but collapsed. The remaining Wolverines are then ambushed while eating food from crates deliberately dropped from a passing Soviet convoy they had intended to attack. Several heavily armed Mil Mi-24 gunships appear and attack the Wolverines, and though Robert is able to disable one with an RPG-7, they suffer severe and demoralizing losses. Robert chooses to die in a hail of gunfire. Toni Mason (Grey) is mortally wounded and asks Jed to leave her behind. Keeping a hand grenade as the others retreat, she kills a Russian soldier and herself. The Wolverines are down to four: Jed, Matt, Danny and Toni's sister Erica Mason. Jed and Matt realize that they cannot outlast the Soviets and if they keep fighting, they will all die. Matt tells Danny and Erica to head for "Free America," that he and Jed are "all used up," and insisting that some of their number must survive. The two brothers, meanwhile, stage a diversionary attack on the Soviet regional headquarters in town so that Danny and Erica can escape. In the confusion, the brothers apparently kill General Bratchenko (Vladek Sheybal), the Soviet commander in the area. Jed and his brother are both shot by Colonel Strelnikov, although Jed manages to shoot and kill him as well. Jed staggers away as he carries his mortally wounded brother Matt in his arms. Bella, the Cuban colonel who has commanded the occupation forces from the start of the invasion, has the chance to shoot the two brothers, but instead lets them go. Bella, a former guerrilla himself, had been composing a letter to his wife just minutes before the attack, telling her he was planning on handing in his resignation. Jed staggers away with his brother to a park bench to wait out his final moments. Meanwhile, Danny and Erica successfully escape to "Free American" territory. The film's epilogue, narrated by Erica, suggests that the United States wins the war some years later; a plaque is displayed with "Partisan Rock" in the background, which pays tribute to the Wolverines killed in action, and reveals that the events in the film occurred during the "early days of World War III."
