FIGHT CLUB, directed by David Fincher, stars Edward Norton as a depressed young man who has become a small cog in the world of big business. He doesn't like his work, he can't sleep and he feels alienated from the world at large. He's so desperate to relate to others that he's taken to visiting support groups for patients with terminal diseases so that he'll have people to talk to. One day on a business flight, he discovers Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a charming iconoclast who sells soap. Tyler doesn't put much stock in the materialistic world, and he believes that one can learn a great deal through pain, misfortune, and chaos. Tyler cheerfully challenges his new friend to a fight. They become friends, meeting informally to fight once a week. As more men join in, the "fight club" becomes an underground sensation, even though it's a closely guarded secret among the participants. A strange situation becomes more complicated when both men compete for the attention of Marla (Helena Bonham Carter). Before long they spiral out of control as they engage in competitive rivalry for love and power.
