Lindsay Anderson's If.... is a daringly anarchic vision of British society, set in a boarding school in late-sixties England.

An English public school for boys is the setting for petty domination by the old over the young, and the strong over the weak, as the teachers and prefects humiliate and torment their charges in increasingly brutal fashion. But Mick Travis (Malcolm McDowell) are determined to fight the system at all costs.
With three close friends, Mick indulges in petty rebellions until he runs afoul of the sadistic head of house (Robert Swann), who administers a vicious ritual beating in the name of school spirit. Thereafter, Mick and his comrades declare war...
