Fight Club

DOWN & DIRTY:
Drama: A disillusioned man joins his new anarchist friend in starting an underground fight club that quickly grows in popularity and scope.

NITTY GRITTY:
"Jack," the film's narrator (EDWARD NORTON), is an investigator for a major automobile manufacturer. Bored with his life and suffering from insomnia, he begins attending
various support group meetings to encounter people who really have problems.

At a group for testicular cancer survivors, he meets Bob (MEAT LOAF), and soon finds himself addicted to the meetings for the release they give him.

This relief is ruined when he notices Marla (HELENA BONHAM CARTER), a chain-smoking "tourist," is also attending all of his support groups without appropriate need and is distracting his attention. They finally agree to split their time at different meetings and each then goes their separate ways.

Jack continues his car crash investigations by flying across the country, during which he meets Tyler (BRAD PITT), a soap salesman with an interesting philosophy about life.

Jack doesn't think much of Tyler until he returns home to find his condo has blown up. Believing it to be an accident and without any real friends, he calls up Tyler and the two get together for several rounds of beers. Afterwards, in the parking lot, Tyler challenges Jack to hit him and after reluctantly doing so, the two get into a fight that changes Jack's life.

Jack moves in with Tyler in a large, dilapidated home and their now weekly fist fights begin drawing crowds of onlookers and participants. They form a fight club where the rules are that only two men can fight at a given time and no one can mention the club outside their circle.

THE ENDING:
After discovering that Tyler has set up flight clubs all across the country, Jack begins to wonder if Tyler has gone too far. He finds out that Tyler and his group of fighters have set explosives to go off in all the credit card companies.

Then when people start referring to him as Tyler, Jack comes to the realization that Tyler was just in his imagination and that Tyler represented everything that Jack wasn't.

To get rid of Tyler for good, Jack shoots himself in the head. This 'kills' Tyler and Jack and Marla watch as the buildings and our credit society disintegrate.

WHAT EVERYONE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT:
The wacky scene where Jack (Edward Norton) beats himself up in his office and
his boss is blamed. It's hilarious!
