Watch Class of Nuke 'Em High

Class of Nuke 'Em High is a comedy-horror film released in 1986, directed by Richard W. Haines and Lloyd Kaufman under the production of Troma Entertainment. The movie revolves around the students of Tromaville High School and the impact of the local nuclear power plant on their lives. Tromaville High School is situated near a nuclear power plant situated in the outskirts of the town. The film begins as the school's honor society gets contaminated with a radioactive substance. They become addicted to it, and soon their behavior takes a radical turn as they turn into mutants. They become more violent, aggressive, and erratic as the mutation progresses.

Amidst all this chaos, a young couple is struggling to maintain their relationship. Chrissy (Janelle Brady) and Warren (Gil Brenton) are trying to find a way to stay together despite the upheavals at Tromaville High School. Theirs is a classic tale of young love strained against the odds of circumstance,

As the contamination worsens, the school principal and the city mayor try to suppress the news of the contamination from the public. They keep denying any crisis happening in the town, but the truth soon gets out.

It becomes clear that the nuclear plant is responsible for the mutated students, and their transformation is not a coincidence. The contamination of the student's honor society was not accidental. It was a deliberate act to cover up the pollution caused by the power plant.

The mutation caused by the radioactive substance also turns normal people into evil and violent mutants. The mutants become unstoppable, and the school becomes a battleground.

Realizing that they are on their own, Chrissy and Warren take up arms against the mutants, who they believe are turning into the biggest threat to Tromaville's existence. As they fight to protect themselves and each other, they also learn more about the causes of the mutations.

The film's plot is not just limited to the daily lives of high school students. The story also touches on a significant global issue about our reliance on nuclear power as a source of energy. The movie shows the devastating and lasting effects of the generation of nuclear waste and the dangers posed by its storage.

The film is a mix of comedy and horror. The humor is often raunchy, irreverent, and absurd. The horror elements include gore, violence, and body horror. The movie is a classic example of Troma's trademark brand of irreverent and subversive filmmaking.

The actors in the movie play their parts with absolute conviction, even though the actors are mostly unknown. Robert Prichard, who plays the character of Spike, delivers an excellent performance as the school's antagonist, who soon becomes a mutated villain of immense proportions.

The movie's special effects are crude by modern standards but fit well within the movie's comedic-tragic atmosphere. The practical effects are often over-the-top, and the gore is exaggerated to the point of humor.

The movie's soundtrack is an excellent mix of punk rock, electronic, and synth-pop. The music complements the film's tone, and the soundtrack is now considered a cult classic in its own right.

Class of Nuke 'Em High is a B-movie classic, and it inspired a sequel, two retro remake/reboots, and an upcoming television series. The movie has a quirky charm, wit, and excitement that have sustained its popularity over the decades since its release. The film is not for everyone, but it is a must-watch for fans of comedy-horror and cult cinema.
