Andie (Molly Ringwald) is the weird but attractive
girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Blane
(Andrew McCarthy) is the rich and popular guy
that falls for Andie.

stuck up friend Steff (James Spader) and Andie's
devoted Duckie (John Cryer) aren't so keen on
the union. When Blane asks Andie to the prom
the class war ensues.
