What is Heathers about?

A girl who halfheartedly tries to be part of the "in crowd" of her school meets a rebel who teaches her a more devious way to play social politics: by killing the popular kids.

Heathers is a 1988 American satirical teen film written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann, in both of their respective film debuts. The film stars Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk, Kim Walker and Penelope Milford. It follows downtrodden high school student Veronica Sawyer—the only girl of her school clique not to be named Heather—who falls in love with Jason "J.D." Dean, a misanthropic newcomer intent on murdering the popular students and staging their deaths as suicides.
