Directed by Michael Lehmann • 1988 • United States
Starring Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Kim Walker

The ’80s teen comedy gets a deliciously warped and wicked twist in this acidic, ultraquotable cult classic. In one of her definitive roles, Winona Ryder stars as Veronica Sawyer, who becomes part of the most popular clique of girls—three queen bees all named Heather—at her Ohio high school. As she grows increasingly troubled by the Heathers’ cruel behavior, Veronica, along with her new boyfriend J. D. (Christian Slater), devises a plan to teach them a lesson—a scheme that quickly spirals out of control with deadly results.
