The screenplay to another offbeat movie by the Academy Award-winning Coen brothers. As a result of a case of mistaken identity, Jeffrey Lebowski - alias The Dude - finds himself entangled in a kidnapping caper as a bag man - a situation that goes from bad to even worse due to the interference of his hapless bowling partners. Like the award-winning Fargo, The Big Lebowski is suffused with a droll humour and exhibits the Coen brothers' ability to frighten, entertain and startle the audience's expectations.
