“If you were coming of age in the 1980s, the brat pack was at or near the centre of your cultural awareness,” says Andrew McCarthy as he walks the streets of New York City. “But for those of us experiencing it from the inside, the brat pack was something very different.”

This film, written and directed by McCarthy explores the actors iconic movies of the 1980s which shaped a generation, and how the Brat Pack label took a hold in popular culture and in the life and career paths of these young stars.

McCarthy reunites with Lowe, Esteves, Moore, Ally Sheedy, Jon Cryer, Lea Thompson and Timothy Hutton. He talks for the first time to David Blum, the writer who coined the term Brat Pack in a cover story for New York Magazine.
