The last
80's coming of age movie, at least in
spirit.
Concept: terrorists take over a prep school in the hopes of holding the children of the rich and powerful ransom to get their demands met. Includes actors from Goonies and Stand by Me, two classic male coming of age myths that came out of the decade that gave you Sand Jack and IranContra.
The bad kids eventually end up wresting control of the school from the terrorists, naturally.
worth watching, if only for nostalgia
