The 2012 reboot of 1984 cult classic Red Dawn has provoked a group of five North Korea sympathizers to "storm" a movie theater in New York's Time Square to protest what they feel is an illegitimate characterization of the DPRK.

The film, which presents North Korea invading the U.S. with Russian assistance, has drawn criticism from some for the unlikely circumstances surrounding a full DPRK ground invasion of U.S. territory.
