The 1940s was a watershed decade for American cinema and the
nation. At the start of the decade, Hollywood - shaking off the
Depression - launched an unprecedented wave of production,
generating some of its most memorable classics, including Citizen
Kane, Rebecca, The Lady Eve, Sergeant York, and How Green Was My
Valley. Hollywood then joined the national war effort with a
vengeance, creating a series of patriotic and escapist films, such
as Casablanca, Mrs. Miniver, The Road to Morocco, and Yankee Doodle
Dandy. By the end of the war America was a country transformed. The
1940s closed with the threat of the atom bomb and the beginnings of
the Hollywood blacklist. Film Noir reflected the new public mood of
pessimism and paranoia. Classic films of betrayal and conflict -
Kiss of Death, Force of Evil, Caught, and Apology for Murder -
depicted a poisonous universe of femme fatales, crooked lawyers,
and corrupt politicians.

Upbeat drama in which a retired boxer turned school janitor helps a
bullied child stand up to his tormentors. Dan Barnes (Steve Austin)
is an ex-professional boxer who gave up the sport partly from
fatigue and partly in search of a less violent way of life. When he
begins working in the more sedate role of a high school janitor, he
is surprised to find that his fighting gifts may come in handy. One
of the children at the school, Matthew (Daniel Magder), is being
cruelly bullied by some of his classmates. Taking on the role of
mentor, Dan teaches Matthew to box. Though one of the boy's
tormentors, Hector (Jaren Brandt Bartlett), is the current school
boxing champion, under the expert guidance of his tutor Matthew
just might spring a surprise on the bullies.
