Set in an exclusive boys preparatory school in 1959, a newly appointed English teacher uses unconventional 
techniques to inspire his students in classic poetry.

==========

Painfully shy Todd Anderson has been sent to the school where his popular older brother was valedictorian. 
His room-mate, Neil, although exceedingly bright and popular, is very much under the thumb of his overbearing 
father. The two, along with their other friends, meet Professor Keating, their new English teacher, who tells 
them of the Dead Poets Society, and encourages them to go against the status quo. Each, in their own way, 
does this, and are changed for life.
