Dead Poets Society (1989) (original) (raw)

Quiet and shy Todd Anderson has just come to the elite preparatory school where his older brother was valedictorian. His roommate, Neil, although bright and popular, is very much under the thumb of his overbearing father. The two, along with their other friends, meet Professor John Keating, their unorthodox new English teacher, who tells them of the Dead Poets Society and encourages them to go against the status quo and seize each day. Each does this in his own way and is changed for life.
