The Breakfast Club

1985· R· 1h 38m· Comedy· Drama

They only met once, but it changed their lives forever.

John, Claire, Allison, Brian, and Andrew, five archetypes of high school conformity and rebellion, spend a Saturday under the watchful eye of their tyrannical principal. As they exchange their stories and secrets, the stereotypes begin to blur. By day's end, these disparate souls confront a newfound understanding of each other and themselves, leaving them to wonder if the rigid hierarchies of their school will ever dissolve into mutual respect and empathy.
