What is Fight Club about?

A ticking-time-bomb insomniac and a slippery soap salesman channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground “fight clubs” forming in every town, until an eccentric gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion.

Critics consensus: Fincher’s anarchic masterpiece remains a cultural lightning rod — Pitt and Norton as twin poles of late-’90s male rage. The film stars Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, Meat Loaf, Jared Leto, and others.
