The Dude, Jeff Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) is unemployed and laid-back… until… victim of mistaken identity, two thugs break into his apartment in the errant belief that they are accosting Jeff Lebowski the Pasadena millionaire. In hope of getting a replacement for his soiled carpet Dude visits his wealthy namesake and, with buddy, ex-‘Nam’ veteran, Walter (John Goodman), he is swept into a Coenesque comedy/thriller of extortion, embezzlement, sex and dope. It takes guys as simple as the Dude and Walter to make a story this complicated… and they’d really rather be bowling.
"I love you, Walter, but sooner or later you're gonna have to face the fact that you're a goddamn moron."- The Dude
