About This Movie

The History Boys is a 2006 drama film directed by Nicholas Hytner. Its leading cast includes Richard Griffiths, Stephen Campbell Moore and Dominic Cooper. It runs for 1 hour 49 minutes.

Synopsis

The story of an unruly class of bright, funny history students at a Yorkshire grammar school in pursuit of an undergraduate place at Oxford or Cambridge. Bounced between their maverick English master, a young and shrewd teacher hired to up their test scores, a grossly out-numbered history teacher, and a headmaster obsessed with results, the boys attempt to pass.
