Story Synopsis

Dead Poets Society is the extraordinary drama about an inspiring teacher in a traditional school. Robin Williams stars as charismatic English professor John Keating, whose infectious love for poetry challenges his most impressionable pupils to “Carpe Diem” and live life to the fullest. But their irresponsible enthusiasm tragically changes their lives forever. Critically acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, Dead Poets Society features Tom Schulman’s Academy Award®-winning screenplay.
