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.Unorthodox English professor Robin Williams (Oscar-nominated) teaches a group of boys which includes the likes of Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean Leonard the joys of life and the importance of living one's life the way one chooses in this highly over-rated film from director Peter Weir (Oscar-nominated). Williams is pretty good when he is on screen, but his air time is very minimal here. He appears and disappears at the Oscar-winning screenplay's convenience. The routine of reading poetry in a cave wears thin and the performances of many of the actors is far from being convincing.
