action

At Mount Limbagh High School, Ralph and his best friend Baxter are constantly bullied and harassed. Flash and Monty, in particular, target the two teenagers. In addition, Ralph is secretly in love with Flash's girlfriend Felicia, who seems to be out of reach for him.

One day Ralph and Baxter discover a strange room behind a wall in the school building. Inside there are strange combat suits, various unknown weapons and a crystal ball. You decide to take the things with you the next day after school ends. Meanwhile, three aliens in their spaceship notice that their arsenal has been discovered. They take human form and attend class as students Phil, Jill, and Bill to retrieve their belongings. When Ralph and Baxter try out the weapons on an old factory site, they are amazed. One weapon just makes things disappear, the other wreaks havoc. After putting on special gloves, you suddenly find yourself in an extraordinary combat suit. They sense their chance to finally get back on their tormentors. After the three aliens appear, both must flee under fire.

Ralph and Baxter take on Flash in their suits and order him to become a nerd and no longer harass others. Completely confused, he agrees. Ralph notices a little later that Lance is harassing Felicia and comes to her aid. He makes Lance disappear. The aliens hire Monty to shadow them. You want to have your property handed over by 10 p.m. Monty now pursues Ralph and Baxter and can overwhelm both of them. He brings the crystal ball to the three aliens who want to destroy humanity using the ball. He also brought Flash and Felicia with him as hostages. But Ralph can make all three aliens and Monty disappear with a shot at the crystal ball. Felicia kisses Ralph overjoyed.

criticism

“Teen entertainment in the usual bullshit spheres. The production company Full Moon once again proves its "child-friendliness" - whether this has educational or cinematic benefits is an open question. "

- Lexicon of international film

“On behalf of the independent genre forge Full Moon and in the shadow of both a teenage and a superhero wave, Corman's discovery and trash film emperor director David DeCoteau is returning to school and giving shape to that old dream of losers in which the worm strikes back with miraculous power. Good-humored actors and some nice ideas in the obligatory scenario between the demolished property and boiler room (the aliens all look like Billy Idol). Completion of the SF-Trashnische. "
