Widely acknowledged as a true cult classic of modern American
cinema, Heathers has captured the imaginations of troubled
teenagers the world over with its acerbic satire of the
sugar-coated high school movies of the 1980s...
At Westerburg High School, an elite clique of snobby girls known
as Heathers reign supreme. Smart and popular, Veronica (Winona
Ryder, Stranger Things) is a reluctant member of the gang and
disapproves of the other girls' cruel behaviour. When Veronica
and her mysterious new boyfriend, J.D. (Christian Slater, True
Romance), play a trick on the clique leader, Heather Chandler
(Kim Walker), and accidentally poison her, they make it appear a
suicide. But it soon becomes clear to Veronica that J.D. is
sociopath intent on vengefully killing the school s popular
students. She races to stop J.D., clashing with the clique's new
leader, Heather Duke (Shannen Doherty), and leading to an
explosive final confrontation with her troubled former lover.
Directed by Michael Lehmann, Heathers pushed the teen comedy
into dark and nightmarish territory and is distinguished by the
career defining central performances of its stars Winona Ryder
and Christian Slater. The film is presented here in an exclusive
30th Anniversary 4K restoration with a wealth of extra material,
providing unprecedented in into the making of this hilarious
and shocking film.
