Military Academy is an American drama film directed by D. Ross Lederman, scripted by Karl Brown and David Silverstein from a story by Richard English and released as a low-budget programmer by Columbia Pictures on August 6, 1940.
Tommy Kelly is a fifteen-year-old sent to the Military Academy under an assumed surname.
At the school he makes friends with two other misfits, a cocky champion athlete and an overprotected son of a wealthy family who cannot adjust himself to the strict regimen.
Kelly's family name is exposed and he faces ostracism from fellow cadets, except for his two friends who continue to support him.
Ultimately, however, all the boys prove themselves to be fine, upstanding, patriotic young Americans on the eve of World War II.
