Overview

The time is in the future and the youth gang violence is so high that the areas around some schools have become "free-fire zones", into which not even the police will venture. When Miles Langford, the head of Kennedy High School, decides to take his school back from the gangs, robotics specialist Dr. Robert Forrest provides "tactical education units". These are amazingly human-like androids that have been programmed to teach and are supplied with devastatingly effective solutions to discipline problems. So when the violent, out-of-control students of Kennedy High report for class tomorrow, they're going to get a real education... in staying alive!

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gloriously pulpy 90s B-movie where killer robot teachers brutally crack down on gang violence at an inner-city school, mixing dystopian angst with cartoonish action and dark satire about authoritarian "solutions" to urban decay.
