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
Rick Moranis was originally cast as the janitor; he left due to creative differences and was replaced by John Kapelos. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In a scene in which the kids are running through the halls of the school, they run past a window that seemingly reveals it is dark outside. In actual fact, they are running past doors leading into classrooms, in which the lights are turned off because it is the weekend. See more »Quotes
