Plot: In the fall of 1994, a teacher at Chicago's run-down Steinmetz High recruits seven students for an academic decathlon team. They work long hours, preparing for the February regional event, won for ten...( read more read more... ) straight years by a privileged, preppy school. Steinmetz finishes just well enough to be invited to the state meet. When a team member steals a copy of the state test, the teacher and kids face a dilemma: to remain honest, or to cheat and score a victory for kids in underfunded schools. When they do well, they must face a withering barrage of investigations, accusations, lawyers' lies, and reporters' intrusions. Is it all worth it? What lessons does cheating teach?

    Plus one gold star for it is based on a true story so it does show the way the students really felt about it. It was interesting to watch, I only hoped they would see the wrong that they did and feel sorry. Instead they were proud and saw that as the way the world works. That doesn't make it right or mean it's the best way though. This movie was originally aired on HBO.

    Inspired by real events, this is a great story about the presure that kids have in school, and how by cheating they have the chance to be the best there is and how they fall to the temptation , this is a good movie all around, great performance, good sountrack, really good direction, really entertaining.... A must see

    Surprisingly good film inspired by real events, an acid social critique of both the media and the education system. Jeff Daniels can be very good in the right roles.

    I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. Almost a portrait of modern day life where everything is alright as long as you wind up on top.
