The teaching methods of their new English teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams), are unorthodox by Welton standards, including whistling the 1812 Overture and taking them out of the classroom to focus on the idea of carpe diem. He tells the students that they may call him "O Captain! My Captain!," in reference to a Walt Whitman poem, if they feel daring. In another class, Keating has Neil read the introduction to their poetry textbook, prescribing a mathematical formula to rate the quality of poetry which Keating finds ridiculous, and he instructs his pupils to rip the introduction out of their books, to the amazement of one of his colleagues. Later he has the students stand on his desk in order to look at the world in a different way. The boys discover that Keating was a former student at Welton and decide to secretly revive the school literary club, the "Dead Poets Society", to which Keating had belonged, meeting in a cave off the school grounds.

Due to self-consciousness, Todd fails to complete a writing assignment and Keating takes him through an exercise in self-expression, realizing the potential he possesses. Charlie publishes an unauthorized article in the school newspaper, asserting that girls should be admitted to Welton. At the resulting school inquiry, he offers a phone call from God in support, incurring the headmaster's wrath. After being lectured by Headmaster Nolan about his teaching methods, Keating tells the boys to "be wise, not stupid" about protesting against the system.

Knox meets and falls in love with a girl named Chris, using his new-found love of poetry to woo her. He presents one of these poems in class, and is applauded by Keating for writing a heartfelt poem on love. Knox travels to Chris' public school and recites his poem to her, later convincing her to go to a play with him. Neil wants to be an actor but knows his father (Kurtwood Smith) will disapprove. Without his father's knowledge, he auditions for the role of Puck in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. His father finds out and orders Neil to withdraw. Neil asks Keating for advice and is advised to talk to his father and make him understand how he feels, but Neil cannot muster the courage to do so. Instead he goes against his father's wishes. His father shows up at the end of the play, furious. He takes Neil home and tells him that he intends to enroll him in a military school to prepare him for Harvard University and a career in medicine. Unable to cope with the future that awaits him or to make his father understand his feelings, Neil commits suicide.

At the request of Neil's parents, the headmaster launches an investigation. Cameron meets the school governors and board of regents. Later, confronted by Charlie, Cameron admits that he squealed on them and made Keating the scapegoat, and urges the rest of them to let Keating take the fall. Charlie punches Cameron and is later expelled. Todd is called to Nolan's office, where his parents are waiting. Nolan forces Todd to admit to being a member of the Dead Poets Society, and makes him sign a document blaming Keating for abusing his authority, inciting the boys to restart the club, and encouraging Neil to flout his father's wishes. Todd sees the other boys' signatures already on the document, and is threatened by his father to sign it. Keating is subsequently fired.

The boys return to English class, now being taught by Nolan, who instructs the boys to read the introductory essay only to find that they had all ripped it out. Keating enters the room to retrieve a few belongings. Todd reveals that the boys were intimidated into signing the denunciation. Nolan orders Todd to be quiet and demands that Keating leave. As Keating is about to exit, Todd for the first time breaks his reserve, calls out "O Captain! My Captain!" and stands on his desk. Nolan warns Todd to sit down or face expulsion. Much of the class, including Knox, Meeks, and Pitts, climb onto their desks and look to Keating, ignoring Nolan's orders until he gives up. Keating, visibly touched, thanks the boys and leaves.

Dead Poets Society Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
• Audio Commentary: Director Peter Weir, cinematographer John Seale and writer Tom Schulman offer a candid but restrained commentary that hits on everything from the development of the script to changes made on the fly (Keating's original entrance and the now iconic Carpe Diem scene were originally a bit different), the inspirations behind many a scene, details on casting and performances, notes on lighting and sound design, a rundown of writing authentic period dialogue and creating convincing '50s production design, and essentially anything and everything filmfans might want to know. It's a touch too tip-toey at times, and would have been much more engaging if Weir, Seale and Schulman hadn't been recorded separately, but it isn't dry and overtly technical either, making for a good listen and an insightful commentary.
• Dead Poets: A Look Back (SD, 27 minutes): Key members of the Dead Poets cast, young and old alike, take a look back at the film and the experience of making it, offering awe-struck praise of Weir as a filmmaker, personal memories from the shoot, and other stories fans of the film will eat up. While it was produced for the 2006 Special Edition DVD release, while Robin Williams is nowhere to be found, and while it's presented in 4:3 standard definition, it's still a engrossing feature that's well-worth watching.
• Raw Takes (SD, 8 minutes): Raw, unedited takes of a single deleted scene that was designed to intercut with a young man's suicide. Weir made a smart decision leaving the sequence out, though, as it would have probably robbed the death of some of its punch.
• Master of Sound: Alan Splet (SD, 11 minutes): Weir and filmmaker David Lynch discuss the life, career and cinematic contributions of the late Academy Award-winning sound designer, Alan Splet.
• Cinematography Master Class (SD, 15 minutes): Seale talks about the impossibility of perfection before a narrator takes over and nearly spoils the entire thing. There's still plenty of interesting info to be had, as Seale reveals his approach to setting up the same shot with a variety of different variables, but the entire overview would have been much better coming from Seale himself. (And without the aquarium-tour music, which comes and goes as it pleases.) Thankfully, Seale talks to his Master Class students while setting up faux-shots, giving him plenty of opportunity to explain exactly what he's doing and why.
• Theatrical Trailer (SD, 3 minutes): The film's initially misleading theatrical trailer rounds out the package.
