The first feature film from director
Phil Joanou (
State of Grace),
Three O' Clock High chronicles a high school nerd's much hyped after-school bout with the infamous class bully. When the impish
Jerry Mitchell (
Casey Siemaszko) is assigned to interview the new transfer student with a supposedly violent past,
Buddy Revell (
Richard Tyson), he makes the fatal mistake of touching his subject.
Revell, who hates being touched, responds by challenging the unwilling
Mitchell to a fight at three o'clock in the parking lot. Spanning the course of the school day, the film follows the disaster-bound
Mitchell as he soils his good-boy image through various misguided attempts at averting the fight. Also making noteworthy appearances in the film are
Jeffrey Tambor and
Philip Baker Hall.
