starring: Janelle Brady, Gil Brenton, Robert Prichard and Pat Ryan
directed by: Richard Haines and Michael Herz
the plot:
Town planning was never a strong suit in Tromaville, where the local
nuclear power plant is located right next to the high school. When
toxic waste starts leaking from the plant into the high school, the
plant manager (Ryan) initiates a cover-up so that his facility is not
investigated. However, the radioactive contamination does not go
unnoticed at the school, where students are melting and throwing
themselves out of windows, and the honor society has turned into a
vicious motorcycle gang called The Cretins.
