One of Chris Hemsworth\u2019s most overlooked action movies is heading to Prime Video. The movie is a remake of the 1984 Patrick Swayze feature, which will also debut on the streaming platform the same day. Red Dawn premiered in US theaters in 2012 and revolves around Hemsworth\u2019s Jed Eckert, a US Marine who leads a resistance group when a foreign force invades his hometown. In the original movie, Swayze portrayed Jed.<\/p>\n

Two Red Dawn movies will stream on Prime Video in April<\/h2>\n

Both Red Dawn movies will start streaming on Prime Video on April 1, 2027. Some of the other movies releasing on the streamer that day are Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Dances with Wolves, Ford v Ferrari, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, and The Aviator (via FandomWire<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Dan Bradley directed the remake from a screenplay by Carl Ellsworth and Jeremy Passmore. Besides Hemsworth, the cast includes Josh Peck as Matt Eckert, Isabel Lucas as Erica Martin, Adrianne Palicki as Toni Walsh, Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Sgt. Maj. Andy Tanner, and Josh Hutcherson as Robert Kitner. The movie was a critical and commercial failure. It currently has a 15%<\/a> approval rating on the review-aggregating site Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, John Milius helmed the original from a script he co-wrote with Kevin Reynolds. Its cast includes Charlie Sheen as Matt, C. Thomas Howell as Robert Morris, Lea Thompson as Erica Mason, and Jennifer Grey as Toni Mason. The movie made $38 Million at the global box office (via Box Office Mojo<\/a>). It also fared slightly better with the critics and has a 48%<\/a> rating on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Felix Vasquez Jr. of Cinema Crazed<\/a> gave the original a positive review. \u201cRed Dawn\u201d is certainly a silly conservative-leaning product of its decade, but one that still holds cache as a fun and exciting bit of escapism,\u201d Vasquez Jr. wrote. \u201cI may not buy its message, but I never mind watching Swayze and Sheen blubber to their dad (the great Harry Dean Stanton) in the internment camp who screeches \u2018Avenge me!\u2019 as death becomes a certainty.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
