The Breakfast Club is a 1985 movie written and directed by John Hughes. The film chronicles five teenagers as they are forced to spend a Saturday together in detention. While the five would normally not cross paths in school due to their cliques (the jocks, the geeks, etc.), they break down barriers and become friends. The film has become iconic, influencing numerous films and directors, and has gained a large cult following.
