Being stood up has never been so adventurous this late 80s action romp through Chicago.

After her boyfriend cancels their anniversary date, 17-year old Chris Parker (the young and dancing Elisabeth Shue) decides she’ll babysit the Anderson’s kids (15-year-old Brad and 8-year-old Sara) and settle in for a boring evening in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park. However, a distress call from her good friend Brenda kicks starts a whole series of misadventures: broken down cars, gang fights on the “L” train, dangling outside of skyscrapers, and supposed superheroes.
