In this adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novel, Brad Pitt stars as Tyler Durden, a sociopath filled with anarchic rage, who organises an underground network of 'fight clubs'.
These clubs, in which young men with white-collar jobs engage in no-holds-barred bouts, spread across the city.
But Tyler has far more insidious plans.
He enlists the aid of his unassertive friend Jack (Edward Norton) to destroy convential 'society' through a deadly series of bombings.
When Jack realises the nightmarish and shocking truth, he fights to bring Tyler down.
Featured players include Helena Bonham Carter as a woman who falls into a love triangle with both men.
Also on hand are Meat Loaf and Eoin Bailey as a menial worker who becomes an early participant in this secret fighting society.
David Fincher (SEVEN) helms his first drama since completing THE GAME in 1997.
