An insomniac, jaded office worker, trapped in an existence of catalogs and furniture, meets Tyler Durden, a soap maker as charismatic as he is dangerous. Together they channel male frustration into a clandestine ritual of bare-knuckle fighting that soon spreads like an uncontrollable movement. What begins as primal therapy degenerates into something far larger and more disturbing. David Fincher directs a ferocious and visceral satire of the emptiness of consumerism and the crisis of modern identity, with a grimy, magnetic style that turned it into a cult film. Provocative, nihilistic, and full of traps for the viewer.
