The Plot

Dangerous Minds is a 1995 drama film based on LouAnne Johnson's autobiographical account of her experience as a Marine who left her career to become a teacher

at a well-off high school attended by bussed-in students from a ghetto. The film, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, focuses on the challenges of growing up in the

inner-city of East Palo Alto, California and of the efforts of a dedicated teacher to allow her class to learn basic elementary

education.
