"Five Knaves for Breakfast": An '80s Hit With a Shakespearean Twist

In "Five Knaves for Breakfast", John Hughes' classic "The Breakfast Club" travels back in time for a Bard mash-up. The result is a new retelling of the beloved '80s coming of age comedy-drama. It's Florence, Italy and the Renaissance movement has only just begun as five strangers start their day, each bound to their place in the harsh caste system of the era. A scholarly acolyte of the Monastery, the wealthy merchant's daughter, the athletic soldier-in-training, the motley rogue and a bleak outsider. They had nothing in common. But before the day was over, they broke the rules, bared their souls and touched each other in a way they could only do in the Middle Ages.
