The film stars Whaley as Jim, a young man trapped in a dead-end job as a caretaker at a local Target department store, and Connelly as Josie, the stereotypical "spoiled/frustrated little rich girl". After a lengthy set up, the main action of the film begins when Josie, in a half-hearted runaway attempt, hides in Jim's store after hours. Discovered by the lonely caretaker, Josie and Jim identify each other as kindred spirits and proceed to enjoy the freedom of being locked together in the store overnight. But things become complicated when two incompetent crooks (played by Dermot Mulroney and Kieran Mulroney) break into the store and hold the two teenagers hostage until the tables are turned. (Screenwriter John Hughes used the same "kids vs. crooks" theme in his earlier Home Alone.) Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) was founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1962. ...
