Academy Award-winner Kevin Kline stars as Arthur Hundert, an inspiring professor who has devoted his life to teaching at an elite boys' prep school. When a new student, Sedgewick Bell, the headstrong son of a powerful senator, joins his class, Mr. Hundert's life is inexorably altered. It is a clash of wills and personalities as the two battle for the hearts and souls of the other students at St. Benedictus.

Critics Consensus: Though Kline is excellent in his portrayal of Hundert, the movie is too dull and sentimental to distinguish itself from other titles in its genre.

Reviews

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Jas Keimig

I'm not quite sure who The Emperor's Club is for. It plays like a patrician knock-off of Dead Poets Society...

A soulless rehashing of Dead Poet's Society is hardly the savior of American education
