23 Jump Street Campus Crackdown 2026
Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Brie Larson
Schmidt and Jenko are back in action — older, questionably wiser, and somehow even more unprepared for the insanity ahead. 23 Jump Street Campus Crackdown sends the undercover duo into an environment even more dangerous than drug rings or criminal cartels: a cutting edge university overflowing with hyper competitive students, experimental technology, and enough chaotic energy to break their remaining brain cells.
Their new mission sounds simple enough. A mysterious synthetic smart drug has begun circulating through campus. It gives students short bursts of genius level intelligence, turning ordinary undergrads into overnight prodigies — until the effects wear off and the users crash hard, mentally and physically. With the drug poised to spread nationwide, the Jump Street program sends its most inconsistent officers to blend in with the student body and track down whoever is manufacturing it.
Schmidt goes undercover as a science major, but immediately struggles to fit in. His attempts to fake complex equations, maintain eye contact with intimidatingly brilliant classmates, and survive high level lab courses provide nonstop comedic disasters. Every lecture is a battle for survival as he tries to pretend he understands quantum algorithms and advanced bioengineering.
Jenko, in contrast, somehow becomes the newest recruit on the university’s elite eSports team, despite having absolutely no idea how gaming works. From forgetting which buttons do what to yelling at the computer itself, Jenko becomes an accidental campus celebrity — not for his skill, but for his spectacular incompetence.
Brie Larson returns as Molly, now more mature and grounded than ever. Her reunion with Schmidt is filled with disbelief, disappointment, and reluctant affection, especially as she realizes Schmidt has barely changed since their last run in.
As the investigation deepens, the duo uncovers a sprawling conspiracy involving a secret research lab hidden beneath the campus library, a group of eccentric genius level prodigies obsessed with “upgrading humanity,” and a rogue professor determined to redefine intelligence at any cost.
What starts as a simple undercover job spirals out of control, exploding into drone chases across the quad, malfunctioning robotics projects, out-of-control 3D printers, and a wild finale involving a runaway self driving campus cart that nobody knows how to stop.
Filled with sharp comedy, fast paced action, and self aware humor that defines the franchise, 23 Jump Street Campus Crackdown proves that the only thing more dangerous than criminals is sending Schmidt and Jenko back to school. Sometimes the smartest way to catch the bad guys… is to be just a little dumber than they are.
