The Education of Charlie Banks THE SEVENTIES: When New york was still the greatest, dirtiest, most conflicted city in the world. At 16, socially responsible upper west-sider CHARLIE Banks (Jesse Eisenberg), 15, witnesses charismatic blue collar sociopath MICK LEARY (Jason Ritter), 18, brutally beat two unwitting suburban jocks at a substantial school party. Mick's a west village neighborhood buddy of Charlie's greatest buddy, but Charlies' conscience gets the much better of him. Telling only his parents, he reports Mick to the police. Three many years later, during his freshman year in college, Mick shows up to get a go to. Does Mick know he was the one who ratted him out? Mick's go to stretches past the weekend and Mick and Charlie begin a game of cat and mouse. Nice one moment, and threatening the next, Mick keeps Charlie guessing. But Mick also begins a unusual course of assimilation, donning borrowed cashmere and reading Charlie's publications and auditing his classes. Soon Charlie begins to wonder in the event the intellectual caress of higher education can redeem even somebody seemingly as far gone as Mick.
