Plot
One of the best known 'brat pack' films of the 80's. The film centres on five students forced to spend detention together on a Saturday morning under the watchful eye of the teacher Paul Gleason. The five are all so different - a rebel John Bender (Judd Nelson) and a jock (Emilio Estevez) and a brain (Anthony Michael Hall) and a beauty (Molly Ringwald) and a recluse (Ally Sheedy) but by the end of the day they come out of school with an understanding of each other.
