Paramount Pictures released Planes, Trains & Automobiles on December 16, 1987. John Hughes directed the film which starred Steve Martin, John Candy, and Laila Robins. ‘Planes, Trains & Automobiles’ Movie Summary It is two days before Thanksgiving and ad executive Neal Page desperately wants to get out of New York City. Neal’s ice queen wife is expecting him to catch his 6PM flight back to Chicago and be home, safely, by 10PM. After Neal loses out on a taxi cab to a Kevin Bacon doppelgänger, he has another cab stolen by former Wally World security guard, Del Griffith. Neal eventually meets Del face to face in La Guardia airport while waiting for their flight to Chicago. When Neal’s first class ticket is downgraded to the coach section of the plane, he is punished by being forced to sit next to his new acquaintance, Del Griffith. During the flight, Del stops talking just long enough to take his shoes and socks off, making Neal nauseous. If Neal’s flight wasn’t bad enough, the plane is rerouted, midflight, to Wichita, KS, after a major snowstorm blankets Chicago.
