Plot Summary:
Igby Slocumb (Culkin), a rebellious, sarcastic seventeen-year-old boy, is at war with the stifling world of "old money" privelege he was born into. With a schizophrenic father (Pullman), a self-absorbed mother (Sarandon) and a shark-like Young Republican big brother (Phillippe), Igby figures there must be a better life out there, and he sets about finding it. Happily flunking out of yet another prep school, Igby is sent off to a military academy in the dreaded Midwest. With the aid of his mother's pilfered credit card, he goes on the lam. His voyage eventually lands him in New York, where he hides out at his godfather's (Goldblum) weekend pied-a-terre. There, he encounters a deviant cast of characters, including his godfather's trophy choreographer girlfriend (Peet) and the terminally bored Sookie Sapperstein (Danes). In his quest to free himself, Igby's struggles veer from comic to tragic in an ultimately noble attempt to keep himself from "going down."
