Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987). Two days before Thanksgiving, an advertising executive faces delayed travel and, while his travel plans are being stalled and diverted, he meets a shady salesman. The two both struggle to meet their destinations, and hesitantly, become obnoxious angry bickering travel buddies. Among the rather chaotic journey, they become pals, getting drunk, getting stranded, getting lost, getting ripped off and having to deal with one hard blow after another trying to get back home.
