Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A 1986 action/drama film produced by Michael Mann and directed by Paul Michael Glaser, focusing on a native American Vietnam veteran named Joe (Stephen Lang) who takes a bunch of trouble young adults under his wing as part of a rehabilitation program. In the swamps of the Florida Everglades, they learn to get past their petty differences and lingering gang affiliations and work as a team to survive.Back in Miami, the group runs afoul the local drug cartel, including street crime boss Cream (Laurence Fishburne) and his boss, drug kingpin Nestor (James Remar). The group attempts to clean up the community and protect the local residents from Nestor's influence.A box-office bomb that became more well known for its frequent appearances on HBO, the movie has gained a cult following due both to folks nostalgic for the 1980s as well as some surprisingly decent performances in what should have been a negligible action film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Bad Boss: Nestor demonstrates the usual characteristics associated with a crime boss, including paranoia, megalomania and a short fuse, and angrily berates his workers when things don't go his way. To make his point, he sticks a knife through a henchman's hand when he looks at his girlfriend, pinning it the table.

Breakfast Club: Basically The Breakfast Club with machine guns. The young adults learn to put aside their differences and work together. Only instead of writing an essay, they attack a drug factory.

The Aggressive Drug Dealer: Nestor is a product of his time, a man that thinks "drug lord" and "war lord" are synonyms (at least on American soil) and tries to kill a bunch of teens just because he doesn't likes that their attempt at gentrifying a single building in a neighborhood means people will be a little bit less despondent (and thus needing his drugs) in their lives.
