In the 1987 adventure comedy 'Adventures in Babysitting', Chris (Elizabeth Shue) ends up babysitting three kids for the evening. They make their way through the dangerous, unfamiliar terrain of downtown Chicago, encountering numerous comedic and threatening situations.
The film packages genuine action-movie thrills—car chases, gang confrontations, a genuine threat from criminals—within the intimate framework of a babysitter protecting her charges through Chicago's urban maze, collapsing the distance between intimate stakes and cityscape spectacle. Its vision of the metropolis as a labyrinth of distinct neighborhoods and subcultural pockets transforms the city itself into a character as crucial as any of the protagonists navigating it.
The film features a babysitter who tries to rescue her friend over one crazy night.
