## Description

Detective John Kimble (*Schwarzenegger*) is a veteran of the mean streets of Los Angeles, ready and able to tackle anything. But to trap an elusive criminal he is forced to face his most challenging assignment yet: going undercover as a kindergarten teacher.

Now facing 23 screaming kids, he has to keep them under control without blowing his top and his cover. Once he gains the respect of his class, as well as the affections of a beautiful teacher (Penelope Ann Miller), Kimble must prepare for a final confrontation with his prey in this acclaimed film from director Ivan Reitman.
