In the action-comedy 21 Jump Street, Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko
(Channing Tatum) are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems
behind. Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they
use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school.
As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko
risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But
they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few
years earlier - and neither
expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being
a teenager again and all the issues they thought they had left behind.
