Storyline
They were five students with nothing in common, faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their high school library. At 7 a.m., they had nothing to say, but by 4 p.m., they had bared their souls to each other and become good friends. To the outside world they were simply the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess and the Kook, but to each other, they would always be the Breakfast Club. Written by Anonymous

Trivia
Before Claire lights up a joint, Brian (Anthony Michael Hall) puts on a pair of sunglasses and speaks in a strange, very high voice. In a later John Hughes movie Weird Science, Hall does this again for almost an entire scene. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Bender sticks the knife into the chair it is leaning slightly to the left side of the screen. The movie cuts back to Andy and back to Bender where Allison steals the knife that is now leaning to the right side of the screen. See more »Quotes
