Film critic & historian Leonard Maltin disliked the picture, describing it as "...Head of the Class meets The Mod Squad."[2]
Overview
The movie is based on actual events that occurred at Paschal High School in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, in 1984.[3] The vigilante group called themselves "The Legion of Doom".[4] The movie was filmed in Santa Cruz County in the San Francisco Bay Area in California.

Plot
The eponymous "Brotherhood of Justice" begins as an attempt by several students to end vandalism and drug sales in and near their high school, but this "solution" gradually becomes worse than the original problem. As the Brotherhood's targets expand to include all who irritate them for any reason, the group's actions escalate to arson and attempted murder. Its original main organizer, Derek, realizing what the group has become, eventually reports his comrades.
