White students are being bused into an inner city all black school. The
students aren't happy with it...will violence erupt?
This movie dealt with a very hot topic in 1970 that doesn't really exist
anymore. The plot (and characters) and the the racism angle are played very
broadly and simplistically. There's also a needless and very ugly sequence
in which five black girls attack and tear all the clothes off a white girl.
Aside from that scene and some mild profanity this plays like a made-for-TV
movie--a BAD one! The confrontations, dialogue and resolutions are all too
obvious. ALMOST worth seeing for a very young Jeff Bridges and Rob
Reiner.
Trivia: This movie was banned from Boston TV stations in the early 70s.
Opposition to busing was very violent in the city and officials were afraid
the movie might incite riots.
