Trailer:

Synopsis: A greenhorn, white history teacher is assigned to an especially notorious inner-city high school, Marion Berry High, which is distinguished mainly by its graffiti and gunfire. Once in these not-so-hallowed halls, he finds he's caught in the crossfire of gang feuds, drug dealers and a baseball-bat wielding principal. His efforts to improve the school's test scores, amid the mayhem and mania, are met with disdain and amusement, but he perseveres out of sheer naivety, ultimately winning the respect of the student body.
