The Big Lebowski

Overview

In a case of mistaken identity that spirals into a dizzying, L.A. noir-tinged odyssey, an unemployed slacker known only as The Dude finds his placid, rug-centric existence irrevocably upended. When a pair of thuggish enforcers trash his apartment and soak his favorite Persian, he's drawn into a convoluted plot involving a wealthy namesake, a kidnapped trophy wife, and a cast of unforgettable characters whose motivations are as murky as the bottom of a White Russian. What follows is a hilariously chaotic tumble through a world of bowling alleys, eccentric artists, and nihilistic goons, where the line between victim and perpetrator blurs, and the quest for a replacement rug becomes a surprisingly profound exploration of man's place in a decidedly absurd universe.
