Class of 1999

Class of 1999 is set in a near-future America where gang violence has turned schools into free-fire zones. In Seattle, the authorities bring military-grade cyborgs into Kennedy High School as teachers, hoping their programmed discipline will restore order. The principal, Miles Langford, and robotics specialist Bob Forrest are behind the experiment, and the three machines are far more dangerous than anyone expects. When the violence escalates, a student named Cody Culp and Langford's daughter Christie find themselves caught between the gangs and the new enforcers.

Mark L. Lester directed and produced the film, from a screenplay by C. Courtney Joyner. It followed Class of 1984 on Lester's directing credits, which also include Firestarter and Commando before it, and Showdown in Little Tokyo afterwards. Malcolm McDowell plays Miles Langford, Stacy Keach plays Bob Forrest, and Pam Grier appears as Ms. Connors, with Bradley Gregg, Traci Lind and Patrick Kilpatrick among the credited cast of 25. The film was made for 5 million dollars and returned 2 million worldwide.

On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.9 from around 9,800 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 6 out of 275 ratings. A critics' rating of 6 out of 10 from eight reviews places it alongside the audience scores rather than clearly above or below them.
