Class of 1984 is a 1982 crime thriller film directed by Mark Lester and co-written by Tom Holland and John Saxton, based on a story by Holland. The film stars Perry King, Merrie Lynn Ross (who also served as co-executive producer), Timothy Van Patten, Lisa Langlois, Stefan Arngrim, Michael J. Fox, and Roddy McDowall.

The film featured various youth fashions of the time, including the punk look and image that was still popular in the early 1980s. The theme song, "I Am the Future", was recorded for the film by Alice Cooper.[4] The film also features a performance by Canadian punk band Teenage Head.
