About Cult Fiction: Class of 1984
They re all part of a typical day for the students of Lincoln High. Into this academic abyss arrives Andy Norris (Slaughterhouse Five s Perry King), an idealistic and naïve music teacher who has moved into the community with his pregnant wife Diane.
Appalled by the crime-infested school, Norris soon
crosses sabers with its teenage kingpin, the shrewd
and sadistic Peter Stegman (The White Shadow s Timothy Van Patten). With Norris setting his sights on reforming Stegman, and the young miscreant declaring war on his teacher, the duo sets a fateful showdown into motion on the night of an important school orchestra performance.

Directed and co-written by Mark L. Lester (Commando, Firestarter), CLASS OF 1984 is one of the seminal cult movies of the early 1980s. While its vision of a decaying, violence-plagued inner city school seemed over-the-top in 1982, it sadly prophesized the future of American education. Lester s film which caused a stir at Cannes and
reputedly offended one of its own screenwriters is
also notable for its cast, which includes Van Patten,
Roddy McDowall and a very young Michael J. Fox. Alice Cooper performs the theme song, I Am The Future . No longer are the students of Lincoln High the future, for the future has arrived! Product Description

yeah, this is a dark, bloody look at high school of the "future". i also liked the documentary about the film and stills in the extras section. it gets a well-deserved 5 stars from me, and i'm extremely picky about movies.
