Allegorical drama from director Lindsay Anderson in which a group
of non-conformist students lead a revolt against their oppressive
masters at an English private school. Parallels are drawn in the
film between the bullying, inflexible and snobbish approach of the
schoolmasters to their pupils, led by the rebellious Mick Travis
(Malcolm McDowell), and the dysfunction and injustice of the
British class system at large. As Mick and his gang of cohorts
indulge in acts of petty disobedience, such as heading into town to
try and seduce a local waitress, the school's acts of retribution,
led by Rowntree (Robert Swann), become increasingly cruel and
malicious. Finally, the students are provoked into open rebellion,
the bloody nature of which shocked a number of commentators at the
time and led to claims that the film aimed to provoke a violent
uprising in society as a whole.
