Red Dawn Page #4

Synopsis: From out of the sky, Soviet, Nicaraguan, and Cuban troops begin landing on the football field of a Colorado high school. In seconds, the paratroopers have attacked the school and sent a group of teenagers fleeing into the mountains. Armed only with hunting rifles, pistols, and bows and arrows, the teens struggle to survive the bitter winter and the Soviet KGB patrols hunting for them. Eventually, trouble arises when they kill a group of Soviet soldiers on patrol in the highlands. Soon they will wage their own guerrilla warfare against the invading Soviet troops-under the banner of 'Wolverines!'

Where's my dad, Mr. Eckert?

I don't know, son.

I don't know.

You all get going now.

Get out before they find you.

Dad,

I love you.

I know you do, Son. I love you, too.

Boys!

Avenge me!

Avenge me!

Come on, Tom.

I'll be damned.

- Get in here before somebody sees you.

- Mr. Mason, how're you doing?

- Good to see you.

- Hello, Mr. Mason.

(MRS. MASON GIGGLING)

- I'll get you boys some soup.

- We got us some outlaws here.

Wow, a house.

Boys, find a chair.

I haven't been in a house for five weeks.

You look it.

Who you got out there with you?

We got Danny, we got Daryl...

Well, we all figured you boys

were headed for F.A. By now.

What's F.A.?

Free America. That's the safe zone.

Where are we?

Hell, you boys is in occupied territory.

You're 40 miles behind enemy lines.

Right smack-dab in the middle

of World War III.

What are you boys doing

fooling around town anyway?

We've been looking for news, Mr. Mason.

We haven't seen or talked to anybody

since it all started.

Wait here just a minute.

I wish there was more.

Sorry.

Thank you, Mrs. Mason.

We really appreciate it.

Here, this'll keep you boys warm.

Use this to see where you're standing

from now on.

A radio? Mr. Mason, we can't take this.

That's all right. I got another one.

Now, you boys listen to me.

Don't go to Calumet no more.

How come?

Because there's been

some attacks up there.

People waking up with their throats cut.

- Word has it, it's you.

- No.

What happened to my dad and mom?

Your daddy's dead, Robert.

They shot him.

The Russians found some guns missing,

so they shot him for aiding guerillas.

What do you mean '"aiding guerillas'"?

He never aided anybody.

- We took the stuff.

- We killed him.

They killed him, son.

Made him an example.

Now, you boys listen to me

and let that burn in real good.

I don't know

where your mother is, Robert.

I ain't got nobody now.

You boys need food, a bed,

you need anything, you come here.

I got a couple of heirlooms

I want to hide with you.

Jack, no!

My granddaughters.

They spent two days sneaking here.

Those sons of b*tches

tried having their way with them.

Toni, Erica, this is Matt and Jed Eckert.

They're gonna take care of you.

I don't wanna know where they're going.

Bye, Grandpa.

- Mr. Mason.

- Yes. Thank you.

Well, Mr. Mason.

Good luck, son.

Here's a box of ammo

for your granddaddy's pistol.

- Thanks.

- Good luck to you.

I'll take care of them. Don't worry.

WOMAN:
It's 11:59 at Radio Free America

This is Uncle Sam

with music and the truth until dawn

Right now, I've got a few words

for our some of our brothers and sisters

in the occupied zone

The chair is against the wall
