The Breakfast Club

A 1985 American film written and directed by John Hughes, depicting five high school students from different social cliques—a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal—who bond during Saturday detention.

The film became a defining portrait of teenage alienation and identity, iconic of 1980s youth culture.

By extension, any unlikely group brought together by circumstance: It was a real Breakfast Club situation—none of us would have talked otherwise.
