A brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal walk into detention. Turns out they were all just lonely. 📚

The Breakfast Club works almost like a group session: five teens who would never speak to each other are stuck in a room until the masks come off.

What it is
John Hughes's teen film follows five students at Shermer High School in Illinois who must spend a Saturday in detention in the school library: a brain, an athlete, a loner, a popular girl and a rebel. Vice Principal Richard Vernon orders them to stay silent and write an essay on who they think they are.
