The movie stars Corey Haim, Alan Thicke, Dick Van Patten, and Jeff Kober in pivotal roles. The plot revolves around a high school principal who must take on the terrorists and save the lives of his students.

The film begins with a group of terrorists who take over an inner-city high school. They have set up explosives throughout the building and are holding the students and staff hostage. The leader of the group, Luther, demands a ransom of twenty million dollars, or else he will blow up the entire school.

The school's principal, Mr. Farnsworth (Alan Thicke), is at home, unaware of what's happening. He is watching television when he sees the news of the terrorist takeover. He decides to head to the school to try to negotiate with the terrorists and save his students.

Mr. Farnsworth arrives at the school and tries to talk to Luther over the intercom. He asks him to release the students and staff and assures him that he will work with the authorities to get the ransom money. Luther is not interested in negotiating and threatens to kill the students if his demands are not met.

With no other options, Mr. Farnsworth decides to take matters into his own hands. He teams up with the school's janitor, Marvin (Corey Haim), who happens to be a former Navy SEAL. They hatch a plan to take down the terrorists and save the students.

As Mr. Farnsworth and Marvin sneak around the school looking for explosives and weapons, they encounter various obstacles, including other terrorists and snipers. They must use their wits and skills to outsmart and outfight the terrorists and save the lives of the students.

Throughout the film, there are several moments of intense action and suspense, including shootouts, fist fights, and explosions. The film also has moments of humor, as Marvin provides comic relief with his one-liners and quirky personality.

The performances by the cast are solid, with Alan Thicke delivering an engaging performance as the determined principal, and Corey Haim bringing charm and charisma to his role as the tough janitor. Dick Van Patten and Jeff Kober also deliver standout performances as the police commissioner and the ruthless terrorist leader, respectively.

The film's direction by Jim Wynorski is tight, and he manages to create an atmosphere of tension and danger throughout the movie. The pacing is brisk, and the action scenes are well choreographed and exciting.

Overall, Demolition High is an enjoyable action-thriller that delivers on its promise of high-octane action and suspense. With a solid cast, engaging story, and well-executed action scenes, it's a movie that's sure to appeal to fans of the genre.
