in red dawn and clearly take place in 1984 and america be invade by cuban ( ally with russian ) . nuclear weapon be never see . neither be act . the filming or directing be horrendous . in long shot and nothing happens while you just see landscape or people stand around . there be overlong and boring conversation fit only to be fast forwarded past . you would think the movie be worth watch for the actor and but they be so young and inexperienced that they become barely recognizable innocent bystander in a clueless and unsympathetic story about stupid american fight even stupid foreigner . there be many really good movie make in the 80 and and just a many really bad one . guess which category this belong in . negative .
