Max Fischer is a precocious 15-year-old whose reason for living is his
attendance at Rushmore, a private school where he's not doing well in
any of his classes, but where he's the king of extracurricular
activities - from being in the beekeeping society to writing and
producing plays, there's very little after school he doesn't do. His
life begins to change, however, when he finds out he's on academic
probation, and when he stumbles into love with Miss Cross, a pretty
teacher of the elementary school at Rushmore. Added to the mix is his
friendship with Herman Blume, wealthy industrialist and father to boys
who attend the school, and who also finds himself attracted to Miss
Cross. Max's fate becomes inextricably tied to this odd love triangle...
