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.

The breakfast club battle terrorists
a cinematic bowel movement
As a citizen of the great city of Kokomo, Indiana, I found this film{?} to be more enjoyable as a travelogue of Kokomo in the 80's than as one of Chuck Connors better efforts. It is truly abysmal, but as the previous reviewer stated, in a good way. One of my favorite moments--check out Chuck Connor's reaction when he runs over a pedestrian downtown! Incidentally, Chuck's first scene was filmed at my cousin's drive in--The Cone Palace--but don't hold that against them: their burgers are the best in Kokomo, while this movie, is, well, something else...View this film with plenty of beer, and the knowledge that Citizen Kane it ain't! Too bad Mystery Science Theater 3000 is out of production--this would have been a prime candidate for their show. Enjoy, (but with plenty of beer)!
