Released in 1998, The Big Lebowski stars Jeff Bridges as The Dude, a jobless stoner and gifted bowler who gets mistaken for a millionaire with the same name. After a home invasion that leaves his treasured run soiled with piss, The Dude seeks recompense from the real Jeffrey Lebowski. Upon confronting the surly millionaire, The Dude becomes the lead detective for a missing persons case involving Mr. Lewbowski’s wife, Bunny (Tara Reid). To help him on his mission, The Dude enlists his bowling buddies Walter Sobchak (John Goodman), a shellshocked veteran with an itchy trigger finger, and Theodore Donald “Donny” Kerabatsos (Steve Buscemi), a faint-hearted innocent, to recover the missing woman. Before long, The Dude finds himself mixed up with everyone from criminals, a porn mogul, an eccentric artist (Julianne Moore), nihilists, and more.
Despite loving and being proud of the film, Jeff Bridges was surprised when audiences didn’t accept the Coen Brothers’ latest comedy. However, time heals, and in the coming years, The Big Lebowski earned a cult-like following with special screenings, annual events, and countless pop culture references throughout the entertainment spectrum.
