Synopsis

A high-school wise guy engineers the perfect skip day — one convertible joyride, one borrowed identity, one very convincing fake illness — while his jealous sister and the dean of students race to catch him. Hughes at his most generous: a day-trip love letter to Chicago, to audacity, and to being young enough to believe the world will wait for you.
