Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Rushmore tells the story of Max Fischer, Rushmore Academy's most extracurricular and least scholarly student: Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper and yearbook; Director of the school theatre troupe; Captain of the Debate, Fencing, and Trap-and-Skeet teams; Founder of the Astronomy and Kite-flying societies; and President of the Rushmore Beekeepers (among other clubs). Also, currently, on Sudden Death Academic Probation.

When Max falls for first-grade teacher Miss Cross, he finds himself in wildly escalating competition with new-found friend and steel tycoon Herman Blume, dangerously imperiling his already precarious status as a Rushmore student.

In addition to the screenplay, this volume also contains a gallery of images from the film.

  • The Wagner Group
    Few military organisations have had a greater importance than The Wagner Group: at a cursory glance, no more than a disreputable private mercenary group dedicated to committing war crimes, yet also, astonishingly, the challengers of the Kremlin on 23-24 June, 2023β€”unheard of in over two decades of Vladimir Putin's rule. From its inception in 2014, this nebulous organisation operating from...
