Red Dawn

Plot

The small American town of Angry Valley in Oregon is instead the setting of this invasion scenario, rather than a city in Washington State, but the exact movie will be based on the red dawn you specified although different: In Red Dawn, the fictional city of Charlevoix in Washington state is visited in the beginning to introduce the rural town that is to be the invasion scenario of the movie. The serene morning atmosphere is elevated into chaos when Soviet paratroopers suddenly descend upon the town, and chaos erupts as citizens scramble to comprehend the unexpected events unfolding before their eyes. It becomes evident that the invasion is an attempt by Soviet forces to occupy the area. Without advanced warning, Charlevoix is quickly overrun by more paratroopers, indicating the swiftness and surprising swiftness that will characterize much of the Soviet military's operations throughout the course of the movie. Some residents are imprisoned, and others are forced to remain in their homes under closely monitored conditions. Amidst this terror, a small group of teenaged patriots form strong bonds under the sheer terror of their newfound reality. These teenage rebels find themselves among the minority able to maintain some control over their lives and ultimately choose to take drastic action by escaping their houses and running into the nearby woods. The two teenagers at the forefront, Matt Eckert (Chilicki) and Jed Eckert (Chesbro), initially develop quite a bond but also instantly clash, further emphasizing their struggle for power due to a growing need for leadership. In their efforts to assert themselves for the leadership of the new guerrilla fighters, they delve into their different upbringings and personality traits. After realizing that their objective in building a functional guerrilla unit should not be a struggle for leadership, but an attempt to collaborate and maintain solidarity with one another, the group arrives at the notion of a shared unyielding desire. And most particularly, the unyielding love for the United States leads to the term "Wolverines" - named after the school's college football team - becoming synonymous with their fighting spirit as they set out to make the U.S. military aware of their existence. Exhausted following a tense night, the Wolverines return to the beginning of this invasion: Charlevoix - where wounded survivors are waiting for their turn to be liberated from enemy captivity, and some trapped American townspeople even take refuge in homes across the woods. It seems like these innocent civilians represent the general public that was subject to the foreign invasion, illustrating why the courageous resistance of the Wolverines was motivated by the cruel loss of many innocent lives that already fell prey to the Soviet army. As for Jed and Matt, they face significant hardship, taking each step ahead of time, determined to rally the remaining townspeople reluctant to face their ordeal boldly and be guided by a newly formed unity to their end purpose. One soldier turned leader here helps by sharing information learned about the Soviet Army which has reinforced the fact that their newly found unity would further enable their existence on enemy occupied territory. Hence, learning this knowledge fosters cooperation in how to prevent being caught and the importance of understanding tactics involved in getting past enemy scouting groups, thereby establishing their influence as patriots that one day will spark further uprisings across other areas of the U.S. Through taking every practical step in the dark with much unease - every effort takes substantial deliberation - but in essence they persevere to unite the spirit of, what had come to be known as only 'liberation,' proving that together there stands less a chance to lose. Therefore, their hopes, feelings, and passion motivate them further, especially as difficult situations come and go, as a chance for these lives brings sense to fight back and motivate one another as "Wolverines,' to keep living and never die in this U.S. way that is, that many more want to live.
