(CBS News) "Red Dawn" will be back in theaters Nov. 21 with a new cast and a whole different set of explosions.

The first trailer is out, revealing some of the plot, which focuses on the Wolverines, a group of teens and twenty-somethings who try to save their town from an invasion of North Korean soldiers.

The "Red Dawn" remake, which went into production in 2008, stars Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Isabel Lucas and Tom Cruise's son, Connor Cruise. The release had been delayed because of MGM's financial issues, and in the last year, Hemsworth and Hutcherson have become even bigger stars, thank to major film roles in "The Avengers" and "The Hunger Games," respectively.

The original "Red Dawn," released in 1984, starred a who's-who cast of 1980s actors: Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Jennifer Grey and Lea Thompson.

The first film centered on the then-Soviet Union invading the United States. In the reboot, it's North Korea as the enemy. According to The Wall Street Journal, the original storyline centered on China, but it was swapped for North Korea in May 2011 in hopes of earning better box office sales overseas. As a result, filmmakers had to digitally alter various parts of the film.

This looks amazing. Dh and I only go to the theaters once or twice a year, but I can bet money he'll be finding a sitter for this one. lol

I'm sorry, but are there screenwriters in Hollywood??? I so wish people would stop going to these remake movies because a) the original is fine and b) there is a lot of other shit going on in the world to write movie scripts about. #lazybastards

I would totally go see this as part of a CEP GTG. Red Dawn is one of those movies that I watch every time it's on. It's so bad that it's good.

On an absolutely side note, I always read the word "debuts" using hooked-on-phonics. I KNOW how it's really pronounced, but I hear it in my brain as "de butts."
