Dead Poets Society

Dead Poets Society is an acclaimed coming-of-age drama directed by Peter Weir. Set in 1959 at a strict elite boarding school, the film follows an unconventional English teacher who encourages his students to question tradition, find their individual voices, and “seize the day” through poetry. Robin Williams stars alongside Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke.

The film received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, and won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
