"It's a scary black thriller in which 30-year-old unnamed yuppie (Ed Norton), discontented with his well-paid job and complacent consumerism, is advised by a shrink to attend support groups and see real suffering. There, he meets a fellow 'disease tourist' (Helena Bonham Carter). Then, on one of his frequent plane trips, he encounters the raffish charmer Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt, right), who is, in the manner of James Hogg's Justified Sinner, Martin Amis's Money and tales by Poe and Dostoevsky, his doppelganger."
