The script, about a meek high schooler who is forced into a fight with an unstable new transfer student, is based on the high school experiences of screenwriters Richard Christian Matheson and Thomas Szollosi. The film was a box-office bomb and received mixed reviews from critics. It was filmed at Ogden High School in Ogden, Utah. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
