''Toy Soldiers'' is a movie released in 1991, starring Louis Gossett Jr., Sean Astin, Wil Wheaton, and Keith Coogan. The story begins with Luis Cali, the son of a Colombian drug lord, attempting to bargain for the release of his father who is in prison. Cali's negotiations are too late and his father is transferred to the United States.

Cali and his men take students and teachers hostage at the Regis School, also known as "The Reject School", thinking that taking the son of a federal judge hostage would be a good plan for getting Cali's father released. However, the student has already been taken away by federal marshals. Cali and his men continue to negotiate with the Americans while the students work on a brave plan for rescuing the hostages before the school is blown up.

RLeeErmey plays a minor role as an Army general.
