Burglary. Drugs. Assault. Rape. The students at Brandel High are more than new Principal Rick Latimer bargained for. Gangs fight to control the school using knives - even guns - when they have to. When Latimer and the head of security try to clean up the school and stop the narcotics trade, they run up against a teenage mafia. A violent confrontation on the campus leads to a deadly showdown with the drug dealer's gang, and one last chance for Latimer to save his career... and his life.

Very 80s movie. Got a little weirded out by the principal sometimes but what can you do. It’s pretty unrealistic but the plot is strung along very nicely. Not sure why he attacks one of his students though. Like beats them. Literally kills two of them. I got really sad when that one kid died and got killed by them so they deserved it. Ok would not recommend but if you want to ig…(my name is kai, i’m 14 ig…. JKJK THAT WAS MOCKEY MOUSE MOCKERY OF PEOPLE WHO SAY IGG BYE 👋)

Does not take a lot to make a good movie. Just stick the formula
