The preposterous premise of "Dragon Day," also known as "Invasion Day," is that the United States owes so much money to China that the Chinese just decide to invade.
By secretly placing malicious code into every electronic product manufactured in China, it effectively shuts down all communication, transportation, banking, etc.
What would China have to gain by coming into our country and ruining it, virtually guaranteeing we'd never be able to pay them back?
Now, because this movie cost less than your sofa to make, we aren't supposed to ask questions like that.
Actually, we don't see this invasion play out on the world stage at all.
No joke, this entire movie is about how the invasion of the United States by the People's Republic of China affects one guy and his family in their Oregon vacation home.
They get assaulted by hillbillies! They get threatened by cops! They run out of Coca-Cola!
Check it: There's one Chinese guy in this whole movie, and ironically he never meets this family.
One time, two starving kids knock on the door, and they each get handed a potato. That's it. You never see those kids again.
You'll just be going, "Wait, what?" at every turn of the plot, but you won't be able to take your eyes off it. This movie is like that weirdo bag lady who gets on the subway talking to herself, and your mom says, "Don't stare!" But you do. Because you can't not.
