Original films don't come along too often.
Fight Club is one of them.

Jack, played by Edward Norton, is totally bored with his white-collar/single-serving life. That is until he meets Tyler Durden. Tyler has a different philosophy. To him self-improvement is for the weak, it's self-destruction that really makes life worth living. "How much do you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?", asks Tyler. The answer leads to the formation of Fight Club, a place where men of any status can come and beat the living daylights out of each other.

But all is not as it seems and Jack soon realises that Tyler has more extreme methods of dealing with the inanity of the modern world. Jack and Tyler's destinies come together in a way that can only lead to destruction...
