Danny Vinyard, a high school student, receives an assignment from Mr. Murray, his history teacher, to write a paper on 'any book which relates to the struggle for human rights. Knowing Murray is Jewish, Danny writes his paper on Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. Murray attempts to get Danny expelled for doing this, but Principal Dr. Bob Sweeney who is black refuses, instead informing Danny that he will study history and current events under Sweeney, and that the class will be called 'American History X'.

CRITICS OF "American History X"

Groucho Reviews

If didactic and overwrought at times, it's also powerful and persuasive. [Blu-ray]

May 25, 2009

Resource

Time Out

Two things hold the interest: Norton's astounding performance, and a feeling for the male reality of reactionary working class environments.

2UE That Movie Show

American History X advocates that "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it"? It's a powerful social document and should be part of your film watching curriculum.

Hollywood Reporter

This journey to unpleasantville is too often manipulative and strains to maintain tension.

January 01, 2000

Common Sense Media

This dark drama is not for kids.

December 14, 2010

Film4

A well-made, well-acted and often violent film that offers a compelling portrait of redemption and the destructive nature of racism.

August 19, 2011

Any idiot can make us wince at the ugliness of beatings and shootings.

July 23, 2007

Movie Metropolis

...a violent film on a weighty topic...frank and honest, its characters, actions, and ideas compelling the viewer to look further and become involved.

April 16, 2009

Resource

Los Angeles Times

Though well-intentioned, turns out to be a simplistic and unconvincing look at a serious problem.

February 14, 2001

Resource

Slate

Norton is an amazing actor, a hot-dog whose delight in transformation is infectious.

August 19, 2011

Resource

L.A. Weekly

The problem is that Kaye, who's used to selling cars on TV, shoots Derek the Hater as lovingly as he would a new Volkswagen.

October 07, 2002

Globe and Mail

What partly redeems American History X from its most preachy excesses -- and makes it worth seeing -- is a brilliant, career-high performance by actor Edward Norton.
