Elephant (2003)
In einer Highschool in einer US-Kleinstadt geht alles seinen normalen Gang. Die Gesprächsthemen sind wie immer, der Unterricht ist wie immer und Schüler und Lehrer sind wie immer. Nichts deutet darauf hin, dass die Normalität dieses Tages schon bald Geschichte sein wird. Denn an diesem Tag wird für die Schüler und Lehrer der Highschool das Gefühl der Sicherheit zusammenbrechen, das ihnen die ständige Routine vermittelt. Die Banalität des Alltags weicht einer grausamen Tat, die von den Tätern aber mit der gleichen ruhigen Routine durchgeführt wird, wie der Tag begonnen hat. Die beiden Schüler Alex und Eric dringen mit einem Arsenal aus unterschiedlichen Waffen, das sie in einer Sporttasche mit sich führen, in die Schule ein. Sie verüben ein blutiges Massaker und erschießen alle, die ihnen über den Weg laufen...
