Movie Clip - Lunchtime
On Saturday, March 24, 1984, five students at Shermer High School reported being detained all day: socially awkward Brian Johnson, volatile wrestler Andrew Clark, Allison Reynolds, shy poisoner, famous snob Claire Standish and rebellious delinquent John Bender. They gathered in the school library, where vice-principal Richard Vernon warned them not to talk or move from their seats, and assigned each of them a thousand-word essay describing “how you think you Who is".
John ignores the rules and spends his time antagonizing the others and defying Vernon, who gives him another eight days of weekend detention. The students sneaked away to retrieve John's stash of marijuana from his locker, but when they saw Vernon returning to the library, John was intentionally captured to allow the others to sneak back in. Locked in a locker as punishment, John was given the opportunity to punch Vernon but did not act. He quickly escaped into the ceiling panels and fell into the library, where the others hid him from Vernon.
The students spent their time debating, listening to music, and smoking marijuana, gradually opening up about their family lives and reasons for their detention:
Claire's popularity puts her under intense peer pressure, while her bickering parents use her against each other and receive detention for skipping school to go shopping.
John reveals the abuse he and his mother endured from his father, and is being detained for pulling the fire alarm.
Andrew, intimidated by his father from succeeding in sports, was detained for sticking a student's buttocks together in an attempt to win the approval of his teammates - and his father.
Brian was under so much pressure from his parents to get good grades that he attempted suicide after getting an F in a shop class, and was sent to detention for bringing a flare gun to school. to commit suicide.
Allison is a compulsive liar with neglectful parents, regularly steals things to use if she runs away from home, and admits that she had to go to detention because she had nothing better to do.
Despite their differences, the students realized that they all faced similar problems; Andrew and Allison bond over their difficult relationships with their parents, and Brian and Claire share anxieties about being virgins, although the group suspects that their new friendship will end after detention ended. Meanwhile, Vernon complains to janitor Carl that the students have become less disciplined, but Carl thinks that Vernon is the one who has changed and cares too much about what the students think of him.
