One of the most outrageous and beloved holiday comedies of all time, Steve Martin and John Candy star in director John Hughes' hysterical (and heartwarming) tale of travel gone awry. Neal Page (Martin) is an uptight advertising executive trying to get home to Chicago for Thanksgiving. When rerouted to Witchita, Neal reluctantly partners with Del Griffith (Candy), an obnoxious yet loveable salesman. Together, they embark on a cross-country adventure that includes multiple modes of transportation, unbelievable mishaps, intimate motel accommodations, and unforgettable rental car shenanigans.
