Tom Cruise's son is going to war.
Connor Cruise, the actor's 14-year-old adopted son, has landed a role in a remake of 1984 movie 'Red Dawn'.
In the film, Connor will play high school student Daryl who joins a group of fellow pupils to battle foreign military forces who have invaded America.
The original movie was set in an alternate 1980s and follows an invasion of the US by then Soviet Union armed forces and soldiers from Central America.
Connor, along with his co-stars, is set to undergo military training ahead of shooting, which is due to start in Detroit in the next month.
'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' actress Isabel Lucas and 'Star Trek' actor Chris Hemsworth have also signed up for the movie.
This is not Connor's first big screen role.
He played a young Will Smith in the 2008 film 'Seven Pounds' and is desperate to follow in dad Tom and mother Nicole Kidman's Hollywood footsteps.
Miley Cyrus recently revealed she is giving Connor acting lessons to help him fulfil his ambitions, and has let him shadow her on the set of her hit Disney TV series 'Hannah Montana'.
Miley, 16, said: "I guess he wants to be an actor too, he is really cute."
