One Eight Seven

DramaThriller120 min

After a student nearly kills him in a Brooklyn school hallway, Samuel L. Jackson is Trevor Garfield, a teacher who leaves New York for Los Angeles and walks into another campus ruled by fear. His new classroom includes members of K.O.S., a tagging crew that carries street rivalries and intimidation straight into school. Kelly Rowan's Ellen Henry, another teacher, has already learned how dangerous those threats can become. As Garfield tries to keep order, the line between school discipline and street violence starts to disappear.
