“At a tough school, someone had to take a stand...and someone did. Together, one teacher and one class proved to America they could...”

Jaime Escalante is a mathematics teacher in a school in a Hispanic neighbourhood. Convinced that his students have potential, he adopts unconventional teaching methods to try and turn gang members and no-hopers into some of the country's top algebra and calculus students.
