Summary:

A Chicago advertising man must struggle to travel home from New York for Thanksgiving, with a lovable oaf of a shower-curtain-ring salesman as his only companion.

In "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" Neal Page, an uptight advertising executive, struggles to reach home for Thanksgiving. His journey becomes a chaotic odyssey when he's stuck with an annoying and overly talkative shower curtain ring salesman named Del Griffith.

The mismatched duo endures a series of hilarious misadventures, including missed flights, broken-down trains, and various transportation mishaps. As the odd couple navigates through the challenges, they discover the true meaning of friendship and compassion. The film, directed by John Hughes, blends slapstick humor with heartfelt moments, creating a memorable road trip comedy about the unpredictability of life and the bonds formed during unexpected journeys.
