When hard-drinking, motorbike-riding Rick Latimer (James Belushi) gets thrown out of the upscale high school where he teaches after drunkenly trashing a car with a baseball bat, he gets "promoted" to the position of principal--at the worst high school in the city. This is the kind of drug-infested campus where students carry weapons and teachers spend most of their time trying to keep their charges from killing each other. Before Latimer can bring education back into the classrooms of Brandel High, he must put down the school's top menace, gang leader Victor Duncan (Michael Wright). In the process, the ne'er-do-well pedagogue finds his own life taking a surprising turn. The film also stars Louis Gossett, Jr. and Rae Dawn Chong.

The principal
Started unpromisingly, hero irritating, but improved vastly. A good struggle of good v evil. Enjoyable and well worth watching.
