Fox (BACK TO THE FUTURE-trilogy, TEEN WOLF, DOC HOLLYWOOD, THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS, CASUALTIES OF WAR, TV's SPIN CITY) in an early role.Featuring an influential music score by legendary Academy Award®-nominated composer Lalo Schifrin (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE-franchise, BULLITT, RUSH HOUR-franchise, THX-1138, DIRTY HARRY-franchise).CLASS OF 1984 "is violent, funny, scary, contains boldly outlined characters, and gets us involved. It also has a lot of style." (Roger Ebert)
