Written, produced, and directed by John Hughes, The Breakfast Club is a 1985 movie that stars five members of the 1980s iconic Brat Pack: Judd Nelson as John Bender, Molly Ringwald as Claire Standish, Emilio Estevez as Andrew Clark, Anthony Michael Hall as Brian Johnson, and Ally Sheedy as Allison Reynolds. These five students, who represent the five archetypes – the criminal, the princess, the athlete, the brain, and the basket case – are forced to spend a Saturday in detention under the strict supervision of Principal Vernon.
