When rebellious teen Jimmy Hopkins is dumped at the infamous Bullworth Academy, he quickly discovers the school isn’t just about homework and detention — it’s a full-blown battlefield of cliques.
From muscle-bound Bullies and entitled Preppies to hot-headed Greasers, brainy Nerds, and glory-obsessed Jocks, Bullworth runs on chaos. And lurking behind it all is the brilliant but manipulative Gary Smith, who sees Jimmy as the perfect pawn in his plan to control the entire school.
At first, Jimmy just wants to survive. But when he realizes Gary is turning every clique against each other to seize power, Jimmy decides to fight back — not just for himself, but for every student tired of being pushed around.
With the reluctant help of shy strategist Pete Kowalski and fearless outsider Zoe Taylor, Jimmy sets out on a campus-wide mission filled with prank wars, ridiculous rivalries, secret alliances, and one epic showdown at the school’s Fall Carnival.
In the end, Jimmy learns that real leadership isn’t about ruling through fear — it’s about standing up for the underdog.
