Overview

Rebel without a cause or a clue at an elite but uptight college discovers some of his classmates have formed an even more elite clique more or less hell-bent on ridding the school, and quite possibly American society, of what they deem to be its undesirables because of ethnicity, politics, etc. Our hero recruits a teacher and some other "less desirable" classmates to undermine the elitists, and, naturally, things get quite violent.

How It Feels

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

A scrappy revenge thriller about standing up to fascist classmates at an elite prep school, where ideological conflict escalates into violent confrontation. It's 1980s B-movie action with a genuinely uncomfortable edge about institutional bigotry.
