A depressed man suffering from insomnia meets a strange soap salesman named Tyler Durden and soon finds himself living in his squalid house after his perfect apartment is destroyed. The two bored men form an underground club with strict rules and fight other men who are fed up with their mundane lives. Their perfect partnership frays when Marla, a fellow support group crasher, attracts Tyler's attention.
Our thoughts
Reviled on release by the mainstream media, Fincher's dark comedy has since become a cult classic. Now celebrating it's 25th Anniversary. See how many Starbucks cups you can spot on the big screen!
★★★★★ It is sensational. It is also grimly funny. San Francisco Chronicle
★★★★★ It's alive, all right. It's also an uncompromising American classic. Rolling Stone
