Neal Page (Steve Martin-The Jerk, Three Amigos, The Man with Two Brains, Dead Men Wear Plaid) is pitching a sales job and when finished must travel home for the holidays. He plans his flight for right after the meeting and hopes to make it in time. Unfortunately, NY traffic totally bites.Del Griffith (John Candy-Summer Rental, Volunteers, Uncle Buck) is also in NY and must travel back to Chicago.
There are no two people polar opposites than these. The well gathered, conservative, traditional Page is no match for the slovenly, happy go lucky Griffith. It seems no matter what happens, their luck keeps getting worse.
Follow the fun as they live adventure by adventure while trying to beat the clock. Thanksgiving is getting closer, but can these two strangers become friends in spite of sabotaging their chances of getting home?
Watch the fights, the fires, the theft, the creative travel, and especially deer in a very hilarious story.
Great quotes include:
Neal: Del... Why did you kiss my ear?
Del: Why are you holding my hand?
Neal:Where's your other hand?
Del: Between two pillows...
Neal: Those aren't pillows!
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a great adventure and totally gnarly John Hughes movie. It's almost fit for the entire family except for the 5 minute F-Bomb exchange at the car rental counter.
