Max Fischer è un quindicenne che ha trovato la sua unica ragione di vita: frequentare la Rushmore Academy. Nerd occhialuto ma non secchione, con molteplici attività extra-curricolari all'attivo (tra cui l'allestimento di maestosi spettacoli teatrali), Max fa amicizia con il laconico e svogliato "uomo d'affari" Herman Blume e insieme a lui si scopre innamorato della dolce maestrina vedova miss Cross.
