The Emperor's Club backdrop

The Emperor's Club 2002 Directed by Michael Hoffman

In everyone's life there's that one person who makes all the difference.

William Hundert is a passionate and principled Classics professor who finds his tightly-controlled world shaken and inexorably altered when a new student, Sedgewick Bell, walks into his classroom. What begins as a fierce battle of wills gives way to a close student-teacher relationship, but results in a life lesson for Hundert that will still haunt him a quarter of a century later.
