Film Description: In this beloved holiday comedy from writer-director John Hughes, uptight marketing executive Neal Page (Steve Martin) just wants to get home to Chicago for Thanksgiving—but a snowstorm, canceled flights, and a string of travel disasters leave him stuck with Del Griffith (John Candy), an overly talkative but well-meaning shower curtain ring salesman. As their misadventures escalate, so does their unlikely bond. What begins as pure frustration turns into a heartwarming journey filled with laughs, humility, and unexpected connection.
