The film was a classic piece of 1980s teen cinema framed against the paranoid geopolitics of the cold war. Red Dawn starred Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen as all-American teens leading an armed resistance movement against Soviet troops who had invaded the US.
Feeding on Hollywood's recent appetite for recycling old films, Red Dawn is being remade with a handsome new cast. But there is one vital difference: this time the invading communist army that takes over America is Chinese.
The new-look enemy reflects the changes that have swept the world since the fall of the Berlin Wall. First, the Soviet Union no longer exists, thus hampering any plot driven by its invasion of America. Second, a rich vein of paranoia about the rise of Chinese economic might now runs through American politics.

No! They can't do that. The Warriors is a freaking CLASSIC!
No imagination anymore.
'Warriors, come out to play-ay. Warriors, come out to play-ay...'
He was butt ugly in that movie, but boy did he grow up nice.
I totally second that!
I may be a child of the cold war and have an anticommunist mindset but I have wondered often if the commies are fomenting the rise of Islamofacisim in order to break us down both economically and militarily
The sixties hippies taking over the schools has already broken us down morally.
