Ferris Buller (Broderick) is a cult icon that no one seems to be able to touch. Of all of his roles Matthew Broderick will always be known as Ferris Buller. The entire movie is told from the perspective of 3 people Ferris, Samone, and Cameron. They all have their own unique personalities. Cameron being the wimp, always afraid of getting caught, and unsure of himself from the upbringing he had, but gets involved in all of Ferris's plans as Ferris is his best friend. Samone, Ferris's girlfriend, she has a wild side and will do just about anything Ferris comes up with because it will be exciting. And then there is Ferris. He will do anything just to do it. He doesn't like school as he has been absent 9 times in the course of that year.
He has such confidence in himself that he doesn't feel that those who are figures of authority should hold him back, and therefore he does to them what they do to others, he walks all over them. Today he is going to get out of going to school, have a day on the town, and he has no intention of getting caught.
