Genres & Description

Action Drama War

6.4 / 10

From out of the sky, Soviet, Nicaraguan, and Cuban troops begin landing on the football field of a Colorado high school. In a few seconds, the paratroopers have attacked the school and sent a group of teenagers fleeing into the mountains. Armed only with hunting rifles, pistols, and bows and arrows, the teens struggle to survive the bitter winter and the Soviet K.G.B. patrols hunting for them. Eventually, trouble arises when they kill a group of Soviet soldiers on patrol in the highlands. Soon they will wage their own guerrilla warfare against the invading Soviet troops under the banner of "Wolverines!"

I was disappointed they knocked off Jennifer Grey in the movie!!! She had such a perfect, incredible ass in those jeans.. Tight little body.... I think her and Lea Thompson should have had sex in the movie,,, or made out... You know they were curious!!! - @Sunday, October 28, 2018 4:55 PM

Fun Fact that was the first time that Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey met and he thought she was a spoiled and annoying cry baby so when he was casted for "Dirty Dancing" Jennifer cried and said she would work with anyone else but Patrick 😂 well, they've talked her into it eventually but those two couldn't stand each other😂 - @Saturday, September 15, 2018 3:24 PM

I never saw the full movie. I only saw this the previous Veterans Day 2017 when it was almost over. My dad told me it would never happen in real life at the time because of A: If Russia tried to attack the United States they would have to deal with Canada and all our European NATO allies and B: In real life it would be hard for Russia to get their equipment over from the other side of the world fast like this. The movie isn't bad, just not so real that you would have to fear it in reality. But I do believe this: No other country against freedom will take away the liberty of American people and get away with it! The USA will stand for generations ahead. - @Thursday, August 30, 2018 3:05 PM

I love all of the butthurt commies calling this movie propaganda. Sorry comrades everything has a goal and everything has an agenda. Pointing out that this movie goes against your collectivist values doesn't make it a bad movie. - @Saturday, August 11, 2018 3:36 PM

Question. Why would Russians kill school children? I know atrocities war but there there not usually happen and are frowned on. I think Russia doesn’t hate America enough to kill civilians especially children. - @Monday, August 6, 2018 2:42 AM

Another of the Ronald Reagan Nazi Propaganda films. Did it to sell war material to US army at 5 times overpriced. Remember the 2,000 dollar toilet seats they were selling to USA military? The 8,000 dollar coffee machines,? the 1,000 dollar normal screwdrivers? the 8,500 dollars pencils to the shuttle astronauts? Those were disguised as "Anti Gravity Writting Devises". - @Monday, July 2, 2018 12:48 AM

I grew up with this movie ever forefront in my mind and mostly subconscious mind. We were taught through society at the time we were teens to be careful and also to be prepared. This has not left many of todays Gen X'ers. We are the sons and daughters of the Boomers. We grew up with stories of their experiences and their parents experiences. We were taught in school the importance of working together as a nation regardless of race or creed. It is for this reason that we are largely accepting, NON PC, and USA focused. Whether you were born in 1962 or 1982, you are of our generation. - @Saturday, April 21, 2018 5:51 AM

It is a good movie and it is a hell of a lot better than the 2012 version. That movie is stupid as hell with NK invading the US. But a simmular red-dawn esk story is the world in conflict game. I would say that that game has a simmular and has a more intresting storyline than both red dawn movies. But that depends on the preference of the individual with ww3 movies. - @Thursday, March 22, 2018 9:41 PM

there is less in this film .. if north korea and russia invaded america we indonesia will join even turki, palestina, arab saudi, vietnam, china, iran, afghanistan, iraq, uzbekistan, cezch, f pakisthan and several other countries .... because our hatred with many of the lies of the American government including WTC W Bush george himself who destroy even blame one of the religions. you are invading another country to destroy and bomb and kill. you will know what it feels like to be those who are oppressed if this movie comes true I am amazed that Americans turn a blind eye to their own government ... bombing the country of people invading the country of people is the real terrorism .. you are the father of the real terrorism .... - @Monday, March 19, 2018 5:07 PM

And today? If that happned, American MEN would line up and BEG to go on the other side and go on a killing spree. They would come to the USA, all they would have to do is say: WE HAVE NO FAMILY COURT. And Boom. the war would be over. it would be women on the other side, men on the other, and a life of freedom a man always wanted. Besides, what are you fighting for now? More being vilnized for being a man? No thank you. - @Thursday, March 1, 2018 7:24 PM
