Programme Information

Teen-angst comedy drama. Five school kids - an athlete, a spoiled rich kid, a brainy nerd, an introverted loner and a rebellious punk - are brought together on a day-long detention where they break the rules, bare their souls and find they have more in common than just attending the same high school. One of the plethora of 80s teen films, John Hughes's bittersweet 'brat pack' comedy has many perceptive moments
