Ferris Bueller's Day Off opens with the Paramount logo and radio music playing over a black background. It introduces the main actor and film title in blue font. The establishing shot shows Ferris's wealthy family home with three cars in the driveway. It is revealed that Ferris is faking being sick in bed, though his parents believe him while his sister is skeptical. A montage then shows Ferris celebrating now that his parents have left for the day and he has the house to himself as a teen in the 1980s.
