Das mörderische Klassenzimmer

Killing Mr. Griffin is a 1997 American television film directed by Jack Bender and starring Jay Thomas, Scott Bairstow, Mario Lopez, and Amy Jo Johnson. The film is based on Killing Mr. Griffin, a 1978 novel by Lois Duncan.

After being humiliated in English class by his teacher Mr. Griffin (Thomas), popular high-school student Mark Kinney (Bairstow) wants his revenge. With his friends, he plans to kidnap Mr. Griffin, using his girlfriend Susan (Amy Jo Johnson) as bait, to frighten Mr. Griffin and photograph him and expose him for the fatuous phony that he seems to be. The prank goes wrong, though, when Griffin dies from heart failure. Now, Mark and his friends must cover their tracks before they are accused of murder.
