Description

Todd Anderson and his friends at Welton Academy can hardly believe how different life is since their new English professor, the flamboyant John Keating, has challenged them to make their lives extraordinary.

Inspired by Keating, the boys resurrect the Dead Poets Society — a secret club where, free from the constraints and expectations of school and parents, they let their passions run wild.

As Keating turns the boys on to the great words of Byron, Shelley and Keats, they discover not only the beauty of language but the importance of making every moment count.
