Short description
A city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky—shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerrilla group of fighters.
What's left behind the scenes
- The news anchor on the television screen is Dan Lewis from KOMO 4 (Seattle news).
- In the original film 'Red Dawn' (1984), the invading army consisted of Soviet Union and Cuban troops.
- Initially, the role of the invaders in the film was assigned to the Chinese. During post-production, they were replaced with North Koreans in order to gain the possibility of releasing the film in China.
- Chris Hemsworth and Isabel Lucas both appeared in the series "Home and Away" (1988) and were in a relationship in real life.
- When Captain Cho gets into his car at the beginning of the first chase scene, he slams the door shut with a loud bang. However, it can be noticed that this is a standard soft door with a plastic handle, and it would not make such a noise.
- When Jed and the others manage to escape in the truck, they drive off-road. At this point, no smoke is visible coming from the exhaust pipe. When they return to the road, smoke suddenly starts pouring out of the pipe. And in the next shot, it disappears again.
- Production of the film was completed in 2009. The release was scheduled for November 24, 2010, but due to MGM's financial difficulties, the film was shelved. Another reason was Chris Hemsworth's role in 'The Avengers' (2012); the studio decided that 'Extraction' (2012) would perform better at the box office thanks to the fame the actor would gain after 'The Avengers'.

- When Robert Kitner (Josh Hutcherson) fires from the machine gun on the roof, the camera shows that he has only 5 rounds left in the belt, but he fires approximately 40 more shots.
- When the characters talk about what they have lost, one of them mentions the game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare." But the mission where a foreign army invades America, which was directly inspired by the original 1984 film, was in the second installment of the game – "Modern Warfare 2."
- After Matt yells at Peter to follow them, and they drive through the park, different shots show either Peter's car or a black SUV following the truck.
- On the bus with the hostages in Spokane, you can notice markings for the "Ballard School District." Ballard is a suburb of Seattle located 275 miles west of Spokane.
