The Breakfast Club
Quad movie poster for the iconic 1985 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film
The Breakfast Club, written and directed by John Hughes.
Summary
The film centers on five high school students from different social cliques who are forced to spend a Saturday in all-day detention in their school library:
The Athlete (Andrew Clark, played by Emilio Estevez)
The Brain (Brian Johnson, played by Anthony Michael Hall)
The Beauty/Princess (Claire Standish, played by Molly Ringwald)
The Rebel/Criminal (John Bender, played by Judd Nelson)
The Recluse/Basket Case (Allison Reynolds, played by Ally Sheedy)
Over the course of the detention, the students argue, use marijuana, and eventually open up about their personal lives, family issues, and the pressures they face from peers and adults. The narrative explores themes of adolescent struggle, stereotyping, and the commonalities that exist beneath high school social constructs, ultimately leading them to realize they are more alike than different.
The movie is considered one of the best high school films of all time and helped launch the careers of its young cast, who were part of a group the media dubbed the "Brat Pack". Additional Information
Release Date: The film premiered in Los Angeles on February 7, 1985, and was released widely on February 15, 1985.
Soundtrack: The poster mentions the hit single "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds, which became a major hit and is famously featured in the film's ending.
Legacy: In 2016, The Breakfast Club was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
