The Salty Nerds talk about one of the quintessential 80s action movies from writer and director John Milius - Red Dawn, from 1984.
Starring most of the cast from The Outsiders, including Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Charlie Sheen, Darren Dalton, Powers Boothe, Lea Thompson, and Jennifer Grey, this is a movie that explores the idea of World War III, told from the point of view of a small group of high school kids from a small town in Colorado.
This movie is about teenagers fighting a Russian invasion of the United States. Is it uber-patriotic? Or is it a subversive anti-war movie? We report - you decide!
What is your Red Dawn review? Do you think the version with Chris Hemsworth is better? Do you think fighting Russians is cool? Do you just like to go around shouting WOLVERINES!? Let us know on our Discord server at: http://www.saltynerddiscord.com
