What is Red Dawn about?

Answer 1

"A film depicting the invasion of the United States from the North and South by communist forces from Cuba and Russia in the beginning of World War III and the efforts of partisans from a small mid-western town to turn back the invasion. This film is one of the basis of the beliefs of the citizen militias and patriot groups about the possiblity of a U.N. takeover of the U.S. The movie and the theory of the New World Order proposed by the militias are similar: invasion by a foreign force, a big gun grab, arrest of gun owners, military equipment being moved on railroads, enemy helicopters, re-education facilities (concentration camps), and a citizen force that strikes back."
