As Thanksgiving draws near, Chicagoans' thoughts turn to drumsticks, punkin' pie, and that inevitable travel-plan disaster. In Planes, Trains and Automobiles, John Candy plays Steve Martin's holiday nightmare. As anal-retentive ad exec Neal tries to get from Manhattan to Thanksgiving dinner in Chicago, he is plagued by blizzards, detours, and Del, a clueless, blundering, motormouth salesman. With golden performances by Martin and, especially, Candy, and exquisite moments of laugh-out-loud hilarity, it's Neal's poignant recognition of shared humanity that makes John Hughes' film a holiday classic.
