Synopsis:
Jack (Edward Norton) is a depressed young man who has become a small cog in the world of big business. He doesn't like his work and gets no sense
of reward from it, attempting instead to drown his sorrows by putting together the "perfect" apartment. He can't sleep and feels alienated from the world at
large; he's become so desperate to relate to others that he's taken to crashing support groups for patients with terminal diseases so that he'll have people to talk to. One day on a business
flight, Jack discovers Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a charming iconoclast who sells soap. Tyler doesn't put much stock in the materialistic world that Jack
longs to travel in, and he believes that one can learn a great deal through pain, misfortune, and chaos. Tyler cheerfully challenges Jack to a fight. Jack finds
that bare-knuckle brawling makes him feel more alive than he has in years, and soon the two become friends and roommates, meeting informally to fight once
a week. As more men join in, the Fight Club becomes an underground sensation, even though it's a closely guarded secret among the participants.
(Rule number one of the club: Never talk about fight club. Rule number two: same as rule number one.) But as Jack and Tyler bond through violence, a
strange situation becomes more complicated when Tyler becomes involved with Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), whom Jack became infatuated with when they were both crashing the support-group circuit.
