Synopsis

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!"

2/10

The choice of music in Red Dawn feels misplaced at times, with some scenes featuring upbeat or melodramatic tunes that do not match the grim and gritty atmosphere of the story. This inconsistency detracts from the overall immersion in the film and undermines the impact of key moments.

Anthony Moore
2/10

The soundtrack of Red Dawn fails to capture the intensity and urgency of the guerrilla warfare portrayed in the film. The music often feels generic and lacks the emotional depth needed to convey the struggles of the teenagers fighting against the Soviet invasion.

Steven Garcia
2/10

The repetitive use of certain musical motifs in Red Dawn becomes tiresome and predictable, diminishing the impact of important scenes and failing to enhance the tension or drama of the narrative. The lack of variety in the soundtrack hampers the overall viewing experience and fails to elevate the film to its full potential.
