This is a very good movie. And it is very violent its bloody. And very sad so it isn't for young kids there is also swearing and some drinking and smoking

Red Dawn is essentially a cautionary tale about what the possiblities of having a foriegn government invade america would be like, the effects on everybody and all told from the point of view of a small band of teenagers. A horribly dated, cold war idea it is, but it is still a greatly entertaining 80's action movie that shows us what could have been, and it shows it to us well. As some may also recall, this was also the first PG-13 Rating ever, so that means that they were still working out a few bugs in the system at the time, because of the bloody violence that today, probably wouldn't make into a PG-13 Rated movie. Besides that, there is a couple attemped rapes of teenage girls that may disturb some viewers, and some infrequent but standard language. It really is a great action thriller, even if it is dated.
