The Big Lebowski
1h 57m
Directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen • 1998 • United States
Starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore
With its ultraquotable dialogue and unforgettable characters who have imprinted themselves onto pop culture, this outrageously entertaining comedy has taken its place as one of the definitive cult classics of the slacker ’90s. Jeff Bridges is iconically laconic as Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski, who, when he is mistaken for a millionaire of the same name and menaced by a band of porn-industry thugs, finds himself pulled—along with his bowling buddies—into a bizarre web of crime and mystery. Featuring a brilliant ensemble cast that includes John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, and John Turturro, THE BIG LEBOWSKI is the Coens at their loosest, funniest, and most far-out.
