If you loved The Wind and the Lion, try Red Dawn
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Milius, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wind and the Lion, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Red Dawn is
Early autumn. A high-school gym still smells of sweat. North Korean paratroopers turn the Friday-night football field into a kill zone; football jerseys become camouflage. John Milius delivers canine-tough war porn that never once mistakes thunder for artillery.
