The Breakfast Club (1985)

This John Hughes classic takes place entirely in the library of fictional "Shermer High School" in suburban Illinois and focuses on the lives of the five students trapped there in detention. 

All of the school scenes were done at Maine North High School, now an Illinois State Police Station at 9511 Harrison Street in Des Plaines, IL. This school was also used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

The massive library in the film was actually a set constructed in the gymnasium of Maine North High School.

The only other location seen in the movie is the football field Bender (Judd Nelson) is seen walking across at the end of the film. This was shot behind Glenbrook North High School at 2300 Shermer Road in Northbrook, IL.
