Thirty years ago this week, The Breakfast Club hit theaters across the country, becoming an instant hit at the box office and resonating with almost everyone who remembers their time in high school.
The movie was set in the fictional Illinois town of Shermer, which was used as the backdrop of many of John Hughes’ movies. The film was shot at three suburban Chicago high schools: Maine North High School and Maine West High School in Des Plaines and Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook.
In honor of the thirty-year anniversary of the release of the film, select theaters across the country will show the movie on March 26 and March 31.
