action

Sam Decker and his team are carrying out an assignment in Bosnia . During his assignment, he and his team discover that the terrorists they are supposed to liquidate are holding children prisoner. While trying to save the children and kill the terrorists, a little girl dies and Sam leaves the army. Ten years later he works as a history and physical education teacher at a high school in Los Angeles. But also in school there are rough morals. Sam quits because he sees no point in teaching children who are neither interested in school nor have good grades and only has to start his job for one more day. The school principal persuades Sam to have a final after-school session in which he has to look after students who have violated school regulations. Due to a pregnant student, he decides to break off detention after a short time, but two students have already escaped from the detention classroom and are walking around the school. Since it is Friday, the school is completely locked with the help of electronic locks. A gang of criminals, consisting of the leader Chester Lamb, his girlfriend and two Hungarian petty criminals, want to use the school as a base camp for a robbery on a drug truck, but have no idea that there are still students there. Now Sam has to try to survive with the help of the students and put the criminals to work, which they ultimately succeed.
