When five high school students from different social groups are forced to spend a Saturday together in detention, they find themselves interacting with and understanding each other for the first time.

A jock (Emilio Estevez, Young Guns, The Way), a criminal (Judd Nelson, St. Elmo's Fire, Billionaire Boys Club), a princess (Molly Ringwald, Sixteen Candles, Riverdale), a basket case (Ally Sheedy, WarGames, Short Circuit), and a brain (Anthony Michael Hall, Six Degrees of Separation, The Dead Zone) talk about everything from parental tension to sex to peer pressure to hurtful stereotypes while serving time. Ultimately, the five find that they may have more in common than they ever imagined and learn more about themselves as well as each other. The only question is, Will they remember what they’ve learned after they leave detention?

Director and writer John Hughes (Ferris Bueller's Day Off; Planes, Trains and Automobiles), along with the stellar Brat Pack, cast makes this a memorable, moving film filled with believable dialogue, intelligent humor, and a sufficient dose of high school hijinx.
