De leerlingen van de Calumet High School worden in hun geschiedenisles gestoord door het geluid van vliegtuigen en zien enkele ogenblikken later honderden parachutisten uit de lucht vallen die het vuur openen. Red Dawn verhaalt de avonturen van 8 studenten die zich in de bergen verschuilen, wanneer Amerika wordt aangevallen door Russische en Cubaanse troepen waardoor een lange meedogenloze strijd begint.
Nee, helaas is Red Dawn nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
