It shows the difficulties of some majority groups
Such a powerful message, just because someone gave up on you, doesn't mean you should give up on yourself
Solid teacher-mentor storyline, somewhat predictable but a satisfying film.
An absolutely powerful film not about the importance of education, but the influence of an amazing teacher.
We watched this in school and it ended up being worth so much more than the couple-hour break from studying we were excited about.
Classic film for the powerful script. This will always be a good movie.
One of Lou Diamond Phillips best movie and role one of the few based on a true story movies I liked
Man comes to inner city school and makes students want to learn. Copied several times by other movies, but still just as lame.
Another inspirational teaching film I know many real teachers hate for creating unrealistic expectations. Still, a very satisfying story.
Edward James Olmos earned a well-deserved Best Actor nomination for his work. Inspiring, has a solid message, and has heart.
