What would آپ do if آپ were trying to get ہوم in time for Thanksgiving from a business trip in none other than the Big Apple? Well, that’s what one man asks himself in the 1987 film Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
Neal Page is trying to return to his family for Thanksgiving in Chicago after being on a business trip in New York. His journey is doomed from the outset — with Del Griffith, a travelling salesman, interfering first سے طرف کی leaving his تنے, ٹرنک سے طرف کی the side of the road, causing Neal to trip when racing a man for a cab, then moments later again سے طرف کی inadvertently snatching the taxi ride that Neal had bought from an attorney just before. The two inevitably pair up later and begin an error-prone adventure to help Neal get back to his home.
Their flight from LaGuardia Airport to O’Hare is diverted to Wichita due to a blizzard in Chicago, which ends up dissipating only a few hours after touchdown in Kansas. When every mode of transport (including a train, a bus, and a rental car) fails them, what should have been an 1 گھنٹہ and 45 منٹ New York-to-Chicago flight turns into a three-day adventure. To complicate matters even further, on the first night in Wichita, a thief breaks into the poorly-locked motel and steals almost $1,000 aggregate from the two men.
Neal frequently blows up at Del, blaming him for much of their misfortunes (including the robbery of the first night). These ravings are not all unjustified, as Del’s carelessly discarded cigarette sets آگ کے, آگ to the rental car, melting all but the radio. Del, in turn, regards Neal as a pretentious and uptight cynic, while Del is less afraid to be himself. After much heated argument between the two men, a bond between them forms, and Neal finally manages to overcome his arrogance. Both men pull together to make their way ہوم to Chicago, while Del manages to raise money سے طرف کی selling off his entire inventory of شاور curtain rings to kids and adults alike (who think they make good earrings).
Under the assumption that Del has a family of his own (as he frequently mentions his wife Marie and puts a framed picture of her on his various motel nightstands), the two men part ways. However, Neal later pieces together some of the things Del had کہا about Marie during the journey, and realizes that Del is alone for the holiday. He goes back to the train station where the two had earlier parted ways, and sees him sitting alone. Del tells Neal that he doesn’t have a home, and that Marie actually died eight years ago. Feeling sorry for Del (as Del went out of his way just to get him ہوم for Thanksgiving) and having himself become a nicer person during the journey, Neal invites Del to enjoy Thanksgiving with his family, and Del accepts.
The film ends with Neal finally returning ہوم to his wife, children, parents and in-laws, and introducing Del to the family.
This is a really awesome movie, and in my mind, John Candy did an awesome job when it came to bringing his character to life in the film too. :)
