At Welton boarding school, under the motto 'tradition, honour, discipline, excellence, boys are trained to be admitted to a leading university. The English teacher retired the previous semester and is succeeded by John Keating, played by Robin Williams. Keating is also a former student of Welton and, unlike the rest of the teachers, challenges his students to become free thinkers and not allow themselves to be dictated to by their teachers or parents. Like Keating in his day, some boys start the Dead Poets Society, a club for which they read and write poems, but also play music and have fun. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with this.
