Neal Page is an advertising executive on a business trip in New York City, eager to return to his family in Chicago before Thanksgiving, which is in two days’ time. After a late-running business meeting with an indecisive client, Neal has horrible luck trying to get a cab during rush hour. As he bribes a man to let him have a cab he’s hailed, it is unwittingly taken by a third man. Neal gets to JFK Airport just as his flight is delayed. While waiting, he meets Del Griffith, a loquacious overweight man who sells shower curtain rings, whom he recognizes as the man who “stole” that cab. To his chagrin (and Del’s delight) Neal is then assigned a seat next to Del on the crowded flight to O’Hare.Planes Trains and Automobiles 1987 Movie Download.
Due to a blizzard in Chicago, their plane is diverted to Wichita, where they must stay overnight. Neal is unable to get a room, but Del – a traveling salesman – has successfully found one, and Neal reluctantly accepts his invitation to share it. During check-in, Del mistakenly takes Neal’s credit card. In the hotel room, Neal loses his temper over Del’s irritating behavior, and Del criticizes Neal’s lack of gratitude for his hospitality; but they make peace and awkwardly share the double bed. Whilst they are sleeping, their cash is stolen by an intruder.
The following day, with air travel still prohibitively delayed, Neal buys them both train tickets to Chicago, but with seats in separate cars. However, the locomotive breaks down near Jefferson City, Missouri, leaving the passengers stranded in a field. Neal takes pity on Del struggling with his trunk, and they are reunited. They travel on a crowded bus to St. Louis, where Del raises quick cash by selling curtain ring samples to passers-by as earrings. Neal offends Del over lunch and the two angrily part ways again.
