They&#39;re very different films, but both focus on late Cold War military escalation between the US and USSR. WarGames is a hacker fantasy with more of a coastal liberal vibe, ultimately, while Red Dawn is an action movie that&#39;s much more heartland America-based. Both are a who&#39;s-who of 80s Gen X teen heartthrobs. 2023-04-06T12:51:11Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvyq3rsnr3nnfmxk9sh058ze3gaf4xlhhmhyeqzuhs9vnpqf6vldszyrhvfd0kufhpcmzkz84hx5tfv6d9kzuuhq3s2s2rn74l72trjkp6zscjjwc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx5nu4w9uqwagkehyksem6q66ruune2zcf0mxegq6fhzu3z6t9mtqrsdldc'>nevent1q…dldc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>To get a snapshot of the Gen X late Cold War 80s teen zeitgeist, I&#39;d pair this with Red Dawn as a double feature.
