The brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess and the criminal are reuniting.

The last time they were together they were serving high school detention — this time they'll be giving "Breakfast Club" fans what they've been waiting 40 years for.

Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy and Emilio Estevez — the five stars of the John Hughes coming-of-age classic — are meeting in Chicago, where the film was shot.

The long-awaited reunion comes decades after a fateful Saturday detention created an unlikely brat pack bond in a film that continues to resonate with fans long after its 1985 premiere.
