Matthew Broderick stars as Ferris Bueller, a breezy, suburban-enriched whiz who needs a break from high school regimentation. And, as usual, Hughes has stacked the deck totally against them.

Once again, the target for Hughes’ rapier wit is high schoolers’ hiearchy (drone-on teachers, deans, parents).
