Sara's 15-year-old brother Brad is supposed to spend the night at his friend Daryl Coopersmith's house, but changes his plans to be with Chris. After receiving a frantic call from Brenda, who ran away to a downtown bus station, Chris plans to pick her up, but is coerced by Brad, Sara, and Daryl to take them with her. On the freeway, their station wagon suffers a flat tire and they are picked up by a tow truck driver, "Handsome" John Pruitt, who offers to pay for the tire when Chris realizes that she left her purse at the Andersons'. En route, Pruitt receives a call from his boss Dawson with evidence that his wife is cheating on him. Pruitt rushes to his house to confront the infidelity; the car of Chris's mother is damaged when he accidentally shoots out the windshield while aiming to kill his wife's lover with a revolver. Chris and the kids hide in the adulterer's Cadillac, which is then stolen by Joe Gipp, a car thief. </p><p>Reaching their hideout in the <a href="/wiki/South_Side,_Chicago" title="South Side, Chicago">South Side</a>, the kids realize that they have stumbled upon a multi-state stolen car operation, and Joe is chided by Graydon, the operation's second-in-command, for bringing witnesses. They are detained in an upstairs office but escape. They enter a blues club where the band on stage refuses to let them leave until they perform a blues number. The group recounts their events while the band plays, causing the audience to sing along and applaud. They leave when Joe, Graydon, and their boss Bleak arrive in the club, whose owners stall them. </p><p>Brad comes clean about his feelings toward Chris and is disappointed to learn that he is too young for her. After separating Daryl from a <a href="/wiki/Street_prostitution" title="Street prostitution">prostitute</a> who is a runaway, Chris is reminded of Brenda. They are found and chased again by Graydon and Bleak but escape on the <a href="/wiki/Chicago_%22L%22" title="Chicago "L"">Chicago "L"</a> train and wind up in the middle of a gang fight. Brad is injured when one of the gang leaders throws a <a href="/wiki/Switchblade" title="Switchblade">switchblade</a> onto his foot. They take Brad to the university hospital, where he receives a stitch. They run into Pruitt, who is now on the run from his earlier attacks; he says that he replaced the windshield, but Dawson wants $50 for the tire. The kids come across a fraternity house party, and Chris becomes attracted to Dan Lynch, a gentleman who learns of her problem and donates $45. He takes them to Dawson's Garage and drops them off. </p><p>When they find Dawson, his blond hair and sledgehammer lead Sara to believe that he is <a href="/wiki/Thor_(Marvel_Comics)" title="Thor (Marvel Comics)">Thor</a>. He denies them their car because of the $5 shortage, but when Sara offers him her toy Thor helmet, he changes his mind and lets them go. Meanwhile, Joe Gipp tells Bleak about their troubles; the three are waiting to follow them. The kids find the restaurant where Mike was supposed to take Chris and discover that he is with another girl. Sara slips away to look at a toy store while Chris confronts Mike. Brad stands up for Chris, but is reluctant to hit Mike, so Daryl kicks Mike into a table, ruining his dinner and causing a commotion. Bleak spots Sara, and Graydon chases her to an office building where she hides; the others note her disappearance and follow, accidentally coming across the Andersons' party. After Sara climbs out an open window and slides down the building, Chris spots her and they run upstairs to help. </p><p>After the group pulls Sara from outside the window, Bleak intervenes on them. Joe knocks his boss unconscious, before giving him a <i><a href="/wiki/Playboy" title="Playboy">Playboy</a></i> magazine that Daryl had stolen, which contained important notes that the criminals wanted. The kids retrieve Brenda from the bus station and rush home, avoiding the Andersons on <a href="/wiki/Interstate_290_(Illinois)" title="Interstate 290 (Illinois)">Interstate 290</a>. Once home, Chris cleans up the mess left earlier, settling into place just as the Andersons enter. Just as Chris is leaving, Dan arrives with one of Sara's missing skates. With Sara's encouragement, Chris and Dan reconcile and kiss. </p><p>A post credits scene shows Bleak still waiting to be rescued from the side of the building. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Adventures_in_Babysitting&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 20em;"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Elisabeth_Shue" title="Elisabeth Shue">Elisabeth Shue</a> as Christina "Chris" Parker</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Keith_Coogan" title="Keith Coogan">Keith Coogan</a> as Brad Anderson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anthony_Rapp" title="Anthony Rapp">Anthony Rapp</a> as Daryl Coopersmith</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Maia_Brewton" title="Maia Brewton">Maia Brewton</a> as Sara Anderson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Penelope_Ann_Miller" title="Penelope Ann Miller">Penelope Ann Miller</a> as Brenda</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bradley_Whitford" title="Bradley Whitford">Bradley Whitford</a> as Mike Todwell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Calvin_Levels" title="Calvin Levels">Calvin Levels</a> as Joe Gipp</li> <li><a href="/wiki/George_Newbern" title="George Newbern">George Newbern</a> as Dan Lynch, a college student</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Davis_Chandler" title="John Davis Chandler">John Chandler</a> as Bleak, a mob boss</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ron_Canada" title="Ron Canada">Ron Canada</a> as Graydon, Bleak's second in command</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Ford_Noonan" title="John Ford Noonan">John Ford Noonan</a> as "Handsome" John Pruitt</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Albert_Collins" title="Albert Collins">Albert Collins</a> as himself; a player in a Chicago Blues club</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Vincent_D%27Onofrio" title="Vincent D'Onofrio">Vincent D'Onofrio</a> as Dawson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Southside_Johnny_Lyon" class="mw-redirect" title="Southside Johnny Lyon">Southside Johnny</a> as band leader at frat party</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Lolita_Davidovich" title="Lolita Davidovich">Lolita Davidovich</a> as Sue Ann</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Clark_Johnson" title="Clark Johnson">Clark Johnson</a> as gang leader</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Andrew_Shue" title="Andrew Shue">Andrew Shue</a> as guy at frat party</li></ul> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Adventures_in_Babysitting&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Writer David Simkins was working for New World Pictures when he read a copy of the script for <i><a href="/wiki/Ferris_Bueller%27s_Day_Off" title="Ferris Bueller's Day Off">Ferris Bueller's Day Off</a></i>.
