	The original scenario of ''Homefront'' was written by [[John Milius]], who co-wrote the films ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' and ''[[Magnum Force]]'' and wrote and directed the original ''[[Red Dawn (1984)]]''. The game borrows most of its story elements from the latter film. According to ex-Kaos Studios staff, reports that he was the actual writer on the game are not true, however: primary writing was done by a staff member whose name was removed from the credits in the hope of trading on Milius' name.
