Dangerous Minds

Dangerous Minds

1995

Former Marine Louanne Johnson (Michelle Pfeiffer) lands a gig teaching in a pilot program for bright but underachieving teens at a notorious inner-city high school. After having a terrible first day, she decides she must throw decorum to the wind. When Johnson returns to the classroom, she does so armed with a no-nonsense attitude informed by her military training and a fearless determination to better the lives of her students -- no matter what the cost.

Within a week, she got an entire classroom of "unteachable" punks to respect her...trust her...and even admire her. That was the easy part.
