Adventures in Babysitting is a 1987 film written by Kurt Ulm and directed by Chris Columbus and starring Elisabeth Shue, Maia Brewton, Anthony Rapp, and Keith Coogan. It is set in a suburb of Chicago, and though much of the action takes place in the city itself, the movie was filmed primarily in Toronto.
Shue plays Chris Parker, a high school senior who agrees to babysit Sara and Brad Anderson (Brewton and Coogan) after her boyfriend cancels their anniversary date. When Chris' friend Brenda calls from a Chicago bus station, having made a failed attempt to run away from her family, Chris reluctantly takes Sara, Brad, and Brad's friend Daryl (Rapp) into the city to rescue her. An accident on the highway, and Chris' realization that she's failed to bring her purse, launches the group into a series of unlikely situations, including a car theft ring from which Daryl steals a Playboy magazine filled with incriminating notes, a blues club where they're forced to sing of their ordeal before leaving, a gang fight on a train which leaves Brad minorly injured (as well as a moment at a hospital where the others are briefly led to believe Brad is dead), and a final incident with the car theft ring on the Smurfit-Stone Building in Chicago.
