A teen drama scripted by James Hughes (son of the master of such fare, John Hughes), NEW PORT SOUTH stars Blake Shields as Maddox, the leader of a group of students fed up with the authoritarian ways of the administration at the movie's titular high school. Maddox's imagination is stirred when he hears about a former student of the school who was institutionalized and later made a name for himself by springing teens like himself from those institutions. Bolstered, Maddox and his cohorts begin a series of clandestine rebellious acts designed to overthrow the oppressiveness of the school and show the administration that they cannot suppress the individual.
