An Iconic ‘80s Action Film Is Free to Stream (And It’s Way Better Than the Remake)

The 1984 film Red Dawn, featuring Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, and Jennifer Grey, tells the story of a group of teenagers in Colorado who fight back after an invasion during World War III. While reviews were mixed, the movie was popular with audiences and is notable as the very first film to receive a PG-13 rating. You can now watch it for free on Kanopy this month.
