Synopsis
Arthur Hiller
directed this satiric look at contemporary urban high schools, examining disillusioned teachers who try to regain their idealism.
Nick Nolte
stars as Alex, a teacher at John Fitzgerald Kennedy High School, who was once an idealistic teacher but whose main concern now is sobering up before the next class session. The high school is headed by ineffective principal Mr. Horn (
William Schallert
) and an imperious vice-principal named Roger (
Judd Hirsch
). When a recent graduate of the high school sues the school because it graduated him illiterate, Alex finds himself in conflict with the hard-nosed school superintendent Dr. Burke (
Lee Grant
). The high school heats up even more when Alex falls in love with Lisa (
JoBeth Williams
), the attractive lawyer who was once one of Alex's honor students. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
