The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club is a 1985 American coming of age comedy drama film written, produced and directed by John Hughes, starring Emilio Estevez, Paul Gleason, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy. It follows five teenagers from different high school cliques who serve a Saturday detention overseen by their authoritarian vice principal. Hughes developed the script in 1982 and began casting after the success of Sixteen Candles in 1984, filming from March to May 1984 entirely at Maine North High School in Des Plaines, Illinois. The film grossed 51.5 million dollars against a 1 million dollar budget, earned acclaim from critics as one of Hughes's most memorable and recognized works and one of the cornerstone films of the 1980s, and helped define its young cast as part of the Brat Pack; in 2016 it was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry as culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.
