Red Dawn is a 2012 action war film directed by Dan Bradley, serving as a remake of the 1984 classic of the same name. The film features a young ensemble cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, Isabel Lucas, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and presents a contemporary reimagining of the original’s plot.

The story unfolds in a small town in Washington State, where a group of American high school students must band together to defend their home after North Korean forces invade the United States. The film opens with the sudden assault by the invading army, catching the citizens off guard. In the chaos, the main character, Jed Eckert (Chris Hemsworth), a former Marine, takes charge of his friends and family as they try to survive and resist the occupation.

As they adopt the name “The Wolverines,” inspired by their high school mascot, the group engages in guerrilla warfare against the enemy forces, using their resourcefulness and determination to fight back. Throughout their struggles, they face not only the external threat of the invaders but also the internal challenges of trust, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of war.
