Intro
"Fist Fight" is a raucous funny movie released in 2017, directed by Richie Keen and starring Charlie Day and Ice Cube as high school teachers on a clash for a post-school face-off. The movie is set on the last day of the year at a failing high school understood for its out-of-control students and unconventional teaching methods.

Plot Overview
The story of "Fist Fight" follows the mild-mannered and well-liked English teacher Andy Campbell (Charlie Day), who is trying to keep his head down and browse the disorderly and prank-filled last day of school. The school is rife with senior pranks and budget plan cuts, developing a tense atmosphere among the faculty.

On the other hand, we have the much-feared and hot-tempered history instructor Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), whose difficult method to discipline and education puts him at odds with both students and staff. The rare balance is tipped when Strickland faces a trainee tinkering his classroom and loses his temper, yielding a fire axe and ruining the trainee's desk.

Campbell unsuspectingly becomes entangled in the legend when he is in the space during Strickland's outburst. Pressured by the administration, he snitches on Strickland to avoid losing his job in the middle of staff reductions. Strickland is subsequently fired and, feeling betrayed, he challenges Campbell to an old-fashioned fistfight after school to settle the score.

Escalating Conflict
The news of the battle spreads out quickly throughout the school, putting Campbell in an increasingly desperate situation as he attempts to prevent the fight. Throughout the day, Campbell's attempts to fix the conflict variety from attempting to get Strickland his task back to planting drugs in his locker and even calling the police. However, each scheme stops working stunningly, often resulting in more humiliation for Campbell.

Campbell, who is likewise handling problems in your home, including his partner's impending delivery of their 2nd child and the requirements of his young daughter, is a character pressed to the verge. The juxtaposition in between his individual and expert issues includes a layer to the antics that unfold.

Climactic Confrontation
The pressure continues to mount as Campbell's coworkers, consisting of the deeply inept guidance therapist Holly (Jillian Bell) and the extremely enthusiastic coach Crawford (Tracy Morgan), provide dubious advice and little genuine assistance. As the day advances, Campbell gains some understanding of Strickland's aggravations with the school system and the students' disrespect.

The movie builds up towards the climactic brawl between Campbell and Strickland. The battle itself is a spectacle within the film, drawing a crowd of trainees and faculty alike and ending up being a cathartic, albeit violent, school-wide occasion, signifying a fightback against the collapsing instructional system.

Resolution
In the end, "Fist Fight" reaches a resolution that sees Campbell showing to be more formidable than anticipated. It features an epilogue that hints at the possible positive changes in the school and in both educators' lives, suggesting that the ludicrous battle might have, paradoxically, been a force for excellent.

Conclusion
"Fist Fight" serves as an excessive representation of school mismanagement and the disappointments intrinsic in the educational system. The film utilizes extreme scenarios to find humor in workplace conflicts and the pressures dealt with by educators in today's schools. While the story may not be particularly complicated, the efficiencies, especially by Day and Ice Cube, provide lots of laughs and produce an amusing, albeit outrageous, comedy.
