Class Of 1984 (Widescreen)

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 naive 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 1980's. While its vision of a decaying, violence-plagued inner city school seemed over-the-top in 1982, it sadly prophesied 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!.
