The movie The Eight Immortals in School is a Chinese fantasy-comedy film that follows the adventures of eight magical immortals, who have been sent down to Earth to study at a high school for a year. The movie is directed by Wong Jing and stars Wu Yue and Vivian Dawson in the lead roles. The story begins with the eight immortals - Tieguai Li, Zhongli Quan, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi, Cao Guojiu, Lan Caihe, and Zhang Guolao - being sent to Earth by the Jade Emperor to learn about the ways of the mortals. They are given a task to complete within a year, failing which they will be sent back to heaven. The immortals choose to enroll in the same high school, where they quickly gain popularity for their unique abilities and magical powers.
Tieguai Li, who has a metal crutch, becomes the school security guard, while Zhongli Quan uses his wine gourd to create magic potions that make people fall in love with each other.

Han Xiangzi, Cao Guojiu, Lan Caihe, and Zhang Guolao also use their magical powers to help others and gain new experiences.
Soon, the immortals become embroiled in a series of hilarious situations, such as accidentally turning a teacher into a pig and creating a giant bunny for a school play. They also find themselves caught up in a love triangle, as the love potion created by Zhongli Quan causes some unexpected relationships to form.
As the months go by, the immortals begin to learn about the complexities of human relationships and the difficulties of being mortal. They also face challenges from the school's principal, who is unhappy with their magical antics, and from a group of students who are jealous of their abilities.
The movie features a range of comedic and action-packed moments, as well as heartfelt scenes about friendship, love, and the importance of cherishing every moment of life. The actors deliver impressive performances, with Wu Yue and Vivian Dawson standing out in particular as Tieguai Li and the school's headmaster respectively.
