This controversial film about teen violence tells the story of Peter Modigan, a 15-year-old from the New Jersey suburbs who pulls a switch on the railroad tracks, derailing a commuter train and killing the engineer.
The film follows Peter as he is tried and ultimately sentenced to 5 years in a maximum security penitentiary with hard-core criminals... an event that made judicial history as the first time a juvenile was sentenced as an adult in the state of New Jersey.
