About the film
Fight Club at a glance.
Screen Path places this 1999 film at stop 329 in one curated journey through cinema. The learning experience adds context before you watch and deeper analysis after.
A ticking-time-bomb insomniac and a slippery soap salesman channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground "fight clubs" forming in every town, until an eccentric gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion.
Key craft credits
Jeff Cronenweth (director of photography), James Haygood (editor), John King (original music composer), Michael Simpson (original music composer) and Jim Uhls (screenplay)
