About this movie

Steve Martin and John Candy star in John Hughes' classic tale of holiday travel gone awry. Neal Page (Martin) is an uptight advertising executive trying to get home to Chicago for Thanksgiving. When his flight is rerouted to Wichita, he reluctantly partners with Del Griffith (Candy), an obnoxious yet loveable salesman. Together, they embark on a cross-country adventure that includes various modes of transportation, hilarious mishaps, and unforgettable rental car shenanigans. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is "a screwball comedy with a heart" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). Now with all-new bonus features, the "Those Aren't Pillows!" Edition is a perfect holiday treat that lasts all year.

Great flick love john candy and steve martin.Two off the best. You will never see these beautiful funny people.. ect old school gen .. ever again..

Just a true classic of a comedy movie with John Candy having performed exceptionally and perhaps naturally, is the true character to stand out.
