Five strangers spend a Saturday together in detention, and beneath the posturing, misbehavior and angst they begin to open up to one another. With this exuberant, disarmingly candid film, writer-director John Hughes became the bard of American youth, vividly capturing how teenagers hang out, act up and goof off. The Breakfast Club assembles a set of adolescent archetypes — the uptight popular girl (Molly Ringwald), the stoic jock (Emilio Estevez), the foulmouthed rebel (Judd Nelson), the virginal bookworm (Anthony Michael Hall) and the kooky recluse (Ally Sheedy) — and watches them drop their personae and form unlikely friendships. With its quotable dialogue and star-making performances, this look at the trials of adolescence became an era-defining pop-culture phenomenon whose influence now spans generations.
