Wes Anderson's cult hit comedy - his second film after 1996’s Bottle Rocket. Eccentric, 15-year-old Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is the king of Rushmore prep school's extra-curricular activities – holding positions from president of the bee-keepers society to manager of the lacrosse team. But when he befriends rich industrialist Herman (Murray), they both fall for teacher Rosemary (Olivia Williams). As the love triangle heats up, Max's big dreams start to crumble around him.
