I'm not sure what the premise of the remake is. In the origional, the Russians and Cubans invaded us. This was back during the cold war and so it seemed plausible at least. Does anybody know what brings about the invasion in the remake?

Seriously Sturtle, you've never seen Red Dawn? Man, you've GOT to rent it!

I remember how the commies were able to identify and disarm private firearms owners by looking at purchase records. I remember thinking that little tidbit was amazingly pro gun for Hollywood.
