Teacher Sam Decker (Dolph Lundgren)
has had enough. Following a successful military career in the
Special Forces, Decker returned to his inner city neighbourhood
to teach in the toughest school in town. He thought he could
make a difference in a school where drugs and guns are part of
the unofficial curriculum. But angered and frustrated by a system
that doesn't seem to work, Decker decides to give headmaster
Lyle Neeson notice to quit. Undeterred by Neeson's attempts to
dissuade him from 'selling out', Decker reluctantly agrees to
supervise one final detention class with the school's most troublesome
kids.
But little does Decker or his
motley crew of would-be dropouts realize is that Lincoln High
is the designated after-hours launch pad for a major criminal
plan - tonight. Masterminded by the brilliant Chester Lamb and
his sadistic sidekick Gloria Waylon, the plot to use the school's
auto shop to prep two police cars and hide a drugs stash worth
$250K is already underway. As the school is systematically alarmed
and locked up tight for the night, Tee Jay , Alicia, Hogie, Willie
and Mick are sitting targets.
On discovering that the school
is not empty as pre-arranged, Chester Lamb and his mercenary
companions Gloria, Victor and Alek are determined to let nothing
stand in their way. The hunt is on as Lamb turns the school's
surveillance equipment against Decker and the kids, stalking
his prey from classroom to classroom, and turning the corridors
into a battleground. As they band together to regain control
of their school, Decker and the kids uncover a sinister conspiracy
which leads back to the higher enshcalons of the police establishment
and beyond. For both teacher and students, today's lesson is
survival. |
