Una historia real de un hombre de carne y hueso.
Un arrogante y poco ortodoxo profesor vuelve como director a un instituto de donde unos años antes fue despedido. Ha sido llamado por un viejo amigo, Frank Napier, un inspector escolar, para llevar a cabo una reforma interna en el instituto Paterson, considerada la peor escuela de Nueva Jersey, un nido de delincuentes juveniles y de traficantes de drogas. El recién nombrado director, Joe Clark, tiene la imposible tarea de imponer disciplina antes de que el Estado deje sin poder al consejo escolar y asuma las competencias. Su cargo se hará indefinido si logra que los alumnos pasen los exámenes finales, pero sus métodos poco convencionales le enfrentan con gran parte de la comunidad.

>"Discipline is not the enemy of enthusiasm!" **Rest in peace - In honor of Joe Clark** Coming from a teacher family, this movie hit me on a lot of levels. The opening scene where it shows how bad things have gotten has reminded me of what is going on these days, and I think with some willingness to help and with some discipline (key word), things can get better. Subtracting half a star because I found out my favorite scene in the movie never happened in real life. The rest is pretty true though.
Maybe it is because I had a teacher that was very much like Joe Clark, or maybe it is because I think just like these kinds of stories, but Lean On Me is one of my favourite movies from "way-back-when" and still gives me that warm fuzzy feeling when watching. Recommended to anyone that likes biographical films.
I never realized it until now, but this is one of my favorite movies of all time. This is Anytown, USA. We've all seen these schools and some of us have been to them. Unfortunately, not all of them have Morgan Freeman to clean it up.
