Three O'Clock High

“Jerry Mitchell just bumped into Buddy Revell. Now Jerry isn't thinking about math or english. Because at three o'clock, he's history.”

Jerry Mitchell (Casey Siemaszko) touches the new transfer student he has been sent to profile for the school paper, and Buddy Revell (Richard Tyson) answers by setting a fight for three o'clock in the parking lot. Phil Joanou follows Jerry through the hours before the bell, every classroom clock a countdown. A fight that matters to nobody but the two boys can swallow a whole school day, and the film plays it that big.
