In one of his most iconic roles, Jeff Bridges plays 'The Dude', the ultimate LA slacker who, following a case of mistaken identity, unwittingly gets entangled in a complex kidnapping plot. The Dude's escalating catalogue of dilemmas is wrapped in enough great lines, ingenious plot twists and local eccentrics to make this crazy tribute to Raymond Chandler and Film Noir, an enduring classic in the Coen's back catalogue.
