RED DAWN

RED DAWN
   Film (1984). MGM/United Artists. Dir John Milius, starring Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen. Screenplay Kevin Reynolds, Milius. 114 mins. Colour.
   Russians nuke US cities and their paratroops, with Cuban and Nicaraguan allies, invade the Midwest. Highschool kids escape into the Colorado mountains, become guerrillas,undergo rites of passage and male bonding, fight brilliantly, mostly die. This incoherent and implausible film gets so sentimental about toughness,like a parody of Robert A. HEINLEIN, that the viewer's sympathy is largely with the homesick Cuban commander. RD is symptomatic of the interest in SURVIVALIST fictions during the 1980s.
