Starring Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson, the coming of age dramedy from writer-director John Hughes will be back in cinemas nationwide on Sept. 7 and 10.

"Over the course of one day, Claire the princess (Molly Ringwald), Andrew the athlete (Emilio Estevez), Brian the brain (Anthony Michael Hall), Allison the basket case (Ally Sheedy) and John the criminal (Judd Nelson) break through their social barriers and reveal the private struggles beneath their public identities," a synopsis from Universal Pictures said.

"Under the wary eye of Vice Principal Vernon (Paul Gleason) -- and the side-eye observations of custodian Carl (John Kapelos) -- they begin as strangers and leave with a deeper understanding of themselves and each other."
