About The Big Lebowski
From the Academy Award®-winning Coen brothers, The Big Lebowski is
a hilariously quirky comedy about bowling, a severed toe, White
Russians and a guy named...The Dude. Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski doesn't
want any drama in his life...heck, he can't even be bothered with a job.
But, he must embark on a quest with his bowling buddies after his rug
is destroyed in a twisted case of mistaken identity. Starring Jeff
Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, Philip Seymour
Hoffman and John Turturro, experience the cultural phenomenon of The
Dude in the "#1 cult film of all time!" (The Boston Globe)
