Class of 1999
Directed by Mark L. Lester
Produced by Lightning Pictures, Original Pictures
A dystopian B-movie action thriller where killer cyborg teachers are deployed to brutally suppress gang violence in a lawless high school, blending cyberpunk premise with exploitation-film sensibilities.
The time is in the future and the youth gang violence is so high that the areas around some schools have become "free-fire zones", into which not even the police will venture. When Miles Langford, the head of Kennedy High School, decides to take his school back from the gangs, robotics specialist Dr. Robert Forrest provides "tactical education units". These are amazingly human-like androids that have been programmed to teach and are supplied with devastatingly effective solutions to discipline problems. So when the violent, out-of-control students of Kennedy High report for class tomorrow, they're going to get a real education... in staying alive!
