Directed by Allen Hughes (MENACE II SOCIETY), KNIGHTS OF THE SOUTH BRONX is based on the true story of an inner-city elementary school teacher. Ted Danson (CHEERS) stars as Richard Mason, who transforms his students' lives by teaching them the game of chess. Against all odds, he becomes a mentor to these underprivileged children and inspires them to better themselves.
Inspired by the true-life tale of a dedicated elementary-school teacher who inspired his inner-city students by teaching them the game of chess. Richard Mason (Ted Danson) was middle-aged and unemployed when he decided to take up teaching inner-city students, and though most of the kids in his classroom couldn't have cared less about their education in the beginning, something curious happened as time went on. Realizing that he wasn't getting very far with his students through conventional means, Richard realized that he would have to innovate in order to encourage critical thinking among the impressionable youngsters. By breaking the curriculum and instead teaching his pupils the finer points of chess, the man who had once lost all motivation in life suddenly realizes just what a difference one teacher can make if they simply become more attuned to the needs of their students.
