Tense drama starring George C Scott, Timothy Hutton, Sean Penn, Tom Cruise
When the venerated Bunker Hill Military Academy's closure is suddenly announced, to make way for the building of luxury condominiums, the cadets decide to mount a protest. However, their disciplined occupation turns into a nightmare siege. The US Army intervenes, the boys show off the skills they've been taught, and the confrontation with the outside world escalates to a gripping climax.
This film launched the careers of Penn and Cruise.
