Joel and Ethan Coen's THE BIG LEBOWSKI finds Jeff Lebowski (JEFF BRIDGES)
the victim of mistaken identity. Two thugs break into his apartment in the
errant belief that they are accosting Jeff Lebowski, the Pasadena millionaire--not
the laid-back, unemployed, stuck in the 70s Jeff Lebowski who calls himself
the Dude.
The Dude's first mistake is paying a visit to his wealthy namesake in the
hopes of getting a replacement for his soiled carpet. But instead of a Persian
loaner, our reluctant hero and his buddy Walter (JOHN GOODMAN) are swept
up in a Coenesque comedy/thriller of extortion, double-cross, deception,
embezzlement, sex and dope.
It takes guys as simple as the Dude and Walter to make a story this complicated...and
they'd really rather be bowling.
