>> On Saturday, March 24, 1984, five students at the fictional Shermer High
>> School report at 7:00 a.m. for an all-day detention. Each comes from a
>> different clique: Brian Johnson, a brainiac; Andrew Clark, a jock on the
>> wrestling team; Allison Reynolds, an introverted outcast; Claire Standish,
>> a snobbish and popular girl; and John Bender, a rebellious teen delinquent.
>>
>>
>>
>> They gather in the school library, where Vice Principal Richard Vernon
>> instructs them to not talk, move from their seats, or sleep until they are
>> released at 4:00 p.m. He assigns them a thousand-word essay, in which each
>> must describe "who you think you are." He leaves, returning only
>> occasionally to check on and reprimand them.
>>
>>
>>
>> John, who has an antagonistic relationship with Vernon, ignores the rules
>> and riles up the other students. John spends most of his time bullying or
>> harassing Claire, Brian, and Andrew. They all eventually feel sorry for him
>> after seeing how he deals with abusive adults like Vernon, who gives John
>> eight weekends' worth of additional detention and eventually locks him in a
>> storage closet for talking back. John eventually escapes through the
>> ceiling and returns to the library.
>>
>>
>>
>> The students then pass the time by talking, arguing, and, at one point,
>> smoking marijuana (except Allison, who doesn't smoke with the rest).
>> Gradually, they open up and reveal their secrets: Claire has many
>> experiences of peer pressure due to her popularity; John comes from an
>> abusive household; Allison is a compulsive liar who dreams of running away
>> from home; Andrew cannot think for himself due to his controlling father,
>> and Brian contemplated suicide over a failing grade. They discover they all
>> have poor relationships with their parents: Claire's parents use her to get
>> back at each other during arguments; John's parents physically and verbally
>> abuse him; Allison's parents are neglectful; Andrew's father emotionally
>> abuses him to the limit to succeed, especially in wrestling; and Brian's
>> parents pressure him to earn the highest grades possible. They all realize
>> that, despite their differences, they face similar problems.
>>
>>
>>
>> Each student then confesses why they are in detention. Andrew taped
>> another student's buttocks together using athletic tape because he felt he
>> had not "cut loose" on anyone in high school like his domineering father
>> had. Brian left a flare gun in his locker, which went off accidentally,
>> that he planned to use to commit suicide after getting an F in shop class.
>> Vernon subsequently found it. Claire mentions peer pressure to go along
>> with what her friends want to do: at the start of the film, Claire's father
>> stated through dialogue that she is in detention due to skipping school to
>> go shopping. Vernon had earlier stated that John was in detention for
>> pulling a false fire alarm. Allison admitted she did nothing, yet showed up
>> anyway for lack of anything better to do.
>>
>>
>>
>> Claire gives Allison a makeover, which sparks romantic interest from
>> Andrew. Claire decides to break her "pristine" innocent appearance by
>> kissing John. Although suspecting their new relationships will end when
>> detention is over, they believe their mutual experiences will change the
>> way they look at their peers.
>>
>>
>>
>> As the detention nears its end, the group requests that Brian complete
>> the essay for everyone, and John returns to the storage closet so Vernon
>> thinks he never left. Brian leaves the essay in the library for Vernon to
>> read after they leave. As the students part ways, Allison and Andrew kiss,
>> as do Claire and John. Allison rips Andrew's state championship patch from
>> his jacket to keep, and Claire gives John one of her diamond earrings,
>> which he then wears. Vernon reads the essay, in which Brian states that
>> Vernon has already judged who they are using stereotypes and that he is
>> crazy if he thinks they'll tell him who they are; Brian correspondingly
>> states: "Each one of us is a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess,
>> and a criminal. Does that answer your question?" He signs off the essay
>> with "Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club." John raises his fist while
>> walking through an empty football field.
