Jeff Lebowski (Jeff Bridges), an unemployed, pot-smoking, avid bowler, is known to his friends as The Dude. And he's a pacifist. When The Dude is mistaken for another Lebowski, his world is flourished, as he is dragged into the treacherous schemes of various criminals.

The Story and Outset

The Big Lebowski in mention is a multi-millionaire whose wife is in dept. The criminals after her mistakenly find The Dude Lebowski at his home. After roughing him up (the scene is actually very funny), the thugs agree they’ve got the wrong guy, and leave. But not before one of them urinates on The Dude’s rug.

The Dude is convinced by his bowling buddies (John Goodman and Steve Buscemi) that justice for his rug must be pursued. ‘They pissed on your rug, man.’ 'They pissed on my rug.' 'They pissed on your f***ing rug.'
