When looking at some films that a friend of mine had picked up,i saw the cover to what looked like a fun 80s action movie.Sadly when the end credits started,I felt very disappointed,
The Plot:
A group of terrorists try to blow up a nuclear power plant in Indiana.But when they fail to blow it up,they end up running to a near-by high school,where the only people their are a teacher and a group of teens are doing detention.
The terrorists decide to take all of the students as hostages,and demand a bus and a privet jet,so that they can get home.Sadly for the terrorists some of the teens are going to do their best,to make sure they don't get away.

Screenplay:
The screenplay is by Chuck Rose has a good idea at how to mix different types of films,by doing a Commando-style action movie,with Breakfast Club style teens being involved.Sadly, Rose's mix is let down by the very poor direction.
Direction:
Director Peter Maris sadly seems to be on a mission to kill any sense of fun that the film could have,with the main centre of the movie being a plodding forty minute(!) car chase,that I can easily say is one of the most boring and slowest chase scenes that I have ever seen in a film.
Final view on the film:
A clever,fun plot that's let down by a terrible director.
