As he arrives on his first day, he meets fellow teacher Terry Corrigan, who is carrying a gun. When Andrew asks about the firearm, Terry assures him he will learn why the protection is necessary. When they enter the school, Andrew is shocked to see everyone scanned by <a href="/wiki/Metal_detector" title="Metal detector">metal detectors</a> and <a href="/wiki/Frisking" title="Frisking">frisked</a>. He spots a student with a <a href="/wiki/Straight_razor" title="Straight razor">straight razor</a>, but the <a href="/wiki/Security_guard" title="Security guard">security guards</a> let the kid go because they are so overworked. </p><p>The halls of the school are covered with <a href="/wiki/Graffiti" title="Graffiti">graffiti</a>. Andrew learns he is expected to patrol the halls as a security guard during his off periods. In his first class, a group of five disruptive students are roughhousing and causing trouble. The leader of the gang is Peter Stegman, the only member of the group who is actually registered in that class. They all eventually walk out, and Andrew discovers the rest of the students want to learn, especially Arthur, who plays the trumpet, and Deneen, who plays the clarinet. </p><p>As Andrew gets to know the school and the area, he decides to put together an orchestra with his more advanced students. Peter's gang sells drugs and causes all kinds of mayhem, including the death of a student who buys <a href="/wiki/Phencyclidine" title="Phencyclidine">PCP</a>, climbs up a <a href="/wiki/Flagpole" title="Flagpole">flagpole</a>, and falls off. They follow Andrew home and taunt him one night, spraying a red liquid on his face. Andrew is frustrated, but the school principal is cynical and requires absolute proof of the gang's misconduct to act. The police act similarly. </p><p>At school, Andrew is confronted with more and more evidence of Peter's crimes. The two grow increasingly at odds. Eventually, after Peter kills Terry's animals in his lab, Andrew and Peter end up alone in a bathroom. Peter throws himself into a mirror and beats himself, claiming that Andrew attacked him. Trying to clear things up, Andrew visits Peter's mother at home. Frustrated that Peter still plays the victim and his mother will not hear Andrew, he <a href="/wiki/Hot-wiring" title="Hot-wiring">hotwires</a> Peter's car and drives it into a wall. </p><p>During lunch, the gang starts a <a href="/wiki/Food_fight" title="Food fight">food fight</a> and forces their friend Vinnie to stab Arthur, causing him to be sent to a hospital. Vinnie is arrested and held in a <a href="/wiki/Youth_detention_center" title="Youth detention center">youth detention center</a>. Terry is driven insane after the incident with the animals in his lab and pulls a gun on his students, but is killed after crashing his car when trying to kill Peter and the others. </p><p>Andrew's orchestra is about to give its first concert. As his wife, Diane, gets ready at home, Peter's gang breaks into the house and gang rapes her. One of them takes a <a href="/wiki/Instant_film#Polaroid" title="Instant film">Polaroid</a> of her being raped and has it delivered to Andrew on the podium just as he is about to start the concert. Horrified by the photo, he runs off the podium in pursuit of Peter's gang; Deneen conducts the orchestra in his absence. </p><p>Andrew and the gang chase each other through the school. Andrew kills them off individually, finally confronting Peter on the roof. Their last scuffle ends with Peter falling through a skylight, and after Andrew reaches a hand to help him, Peter attacks him, getting strangled to death in the ropes above the stage. His corpse falls into full view of the audience. An ending caption states that Andrew is never charged because the police could not find a witness to the crime. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Class_of_1984&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Perry_King" title="Perry King">Perry King</a> as Andrew Norris</li> <li>Merrie Lynn Ross as Diane Norris</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Timothy_Van_Patten" class="mw-redirect" title="Timothy Van Patten">Timothy Van Patten</a> as Peter Stegman</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Stefan_Arngrim" title="Stefan Arngrim">Stefan Arngrim</a> as "Drugstore"</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Michael_J._Fox" title="Michael J.
