==Plot==
[[File:Planes trains automobiles route map.svg|thumb|left|The route taken by Del Griffith and Neal Page in the film]]
In New York City, two days before Thanksgiving, advertising executive Neal Page is eager to return to his family in Chicago. After a prolonged business meeting with an indecisive client, Neal struggles to secure a taxi during rush hour. Although he bribes a man to give up a cab he has hailed, another man swoops in and takes it instead.

Neal arrives at [[LaGuardia Airport]] to discover that his flight is delayed. While waiting, he encounters Del Griffith, a chatty and affable shower curtain ring salesman who unknowingly took his cab. Del's overly friendly demeanor immediately clashes with Neal's uptight and repressed personality. Adding to his frustration, Neal's first-class seat is reassigned to a cramped coach seat—right next to Del—on the flight to [[O'Hare International Airport]].

A blizzard in Chicago forces the plane to divert to [[Wichita, Kansas]], leaving Neal and Del stranded overnight. At hotel check-in, they inadvertently swap credit cards. With only one room available, the two are forced to share a double bed. Frustrated by Del's irritating behavior, Neal loses his temper and harshly criticizes him as unlikable. Hurt, Del admits his shortcomings but asserts that he likes himself as he is, as does his wife. His response humbles Neal. While they sleep, a thief breaks into their room and steals their cash.

The next day, with air travel severely delayed, Neal purchases train tickets to Chicago for himself and Del, opting for separate compartments. He bids Del farewell, but their journey is interrupted when the locomotive breaks down near [[Jefferson City, Missouri]], leaving passengers stranded in a field. Spotting Del struggling with his [[Trunk (luggage)|trunk]], Neal decides to help, and the two reunite before traveling by bus to [[St. Louis]]. During a meal, Neal upsets Del by suggesting they continue their journey separately, leading to another parting of ways.

At the [[St. Louis Lambert International Airport|St. Louis Airport]], Neal attempts to rent a car but finds it missing when he reaches the lot. Infuriated, he delivers an expletive-filled tirade to a car rental employee and then attempts to book a taxi to Chicago. He insults the dispatcher, who responds by punching him in the face. By chance, Del arrives in a rental car and offers Neal a ride. That night, Del nearly kills them when he inadvertently drives the wrong way on a freeway. After narrowly avoiding disaster and pulling over, Del's carelessly discarded cigarette ignites the car, setting it ablaze. Neal initially laughs, believing that Del is liable for the damage. However, Del confesses that he found Neal's credit card in his wallet, used it to rent the car, and then returned it to Neal's wallet, which is in the vehicle.

With his credit cards destroyed, Neal barters his expensive watch for a motel room but refuses to help Del. Unable to afford a room, Del attempts to sleep outside in the frigid temperatures and snow. Reflecting aloud, Del laments meeting someone whose company he genuinely enjoys, only to drive them away with his overbearing behavior. Neal feels pity for Del and invites him to share the room. The two bond over drinks, reminiscing about their chaotic journey.

On Thanksgiving Day, the pair continues their journey in the burnt car until the [[Illinois State Patrol]] impounds it for being unroadworthy. Del persuades a [[truck driver]] to give them a ride to Chicago—albeit in the truck's refrigerated trailer. At a [[Chicago "L"]] station, Neal thanks Del for helping him get home, and the two part amicably. However, as Neal rides the commuter train, he reflects on Del's peculiar comments and silences during their journey. Troubled, Neal returns to the station and finds Del sitting alone. Del confesses that he has no permanent home and has been living on the road since his wife's death eight years earlier. Neal brings Del home with him and introduces his family to his new friend.

===Soundtrack===
The soundtrack to ''Planes, Trains and Automobiles'' features a mix of [[rock and roll]], [[Country music|country]], and pop. The frenetic musical score by [[Ira Newborn]] makes extensive use of the folk song "[[Red River Valley (song)|Red River Valley]]," including a cover of [[Johnny and the Hurricanes]]' rock and roll version, "Red River Rock", performed by the British group [[Silicon Teens]]. Among other tracks is a [[cover version]] of "Back in Baby's Arms". The song, popularized by [[Patsy Cline]], is performed by [[Emmylou Harris]]. Another popular song used in the movie is "[[Mess Around]]" written by [[Ahmet Ertegun]] and performed by [[Ray Charles]].

A cover version of "[[Six Days on the Road]]" was used in the film, performed by [[Steve Earle]] & The Dukes. The film also featured the contemporary pop song "[[Modigliani (Lost in Your Eyes)]]" by [[Book of Love (band)|Book of Love]], using both the original single and the Requiem Mass Remix. A special instrumental version of "[[Remembrance Days|Power to Believe]]" by [[The Dream Academy]], which the band recorded at Hughes's request, is extensively used in the film as Del's unofficial theme.

A cover of "[[Everytime You Go Away]]" performed by Blue Room is played over the final scene and the credits; Hughes planned to use [[Paul Young]]'s well-known hit version but was denied the rights by the record company even though Young approved of Hughes's planned use of the song and wanted to see it included.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://twitter.com/PaulYoungParlez/status/1102343756777439233 |title=Paul Young on Twitter |access-date=November 25, 2019 |archive-date=March 5, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190305164825/https://twitter.com/paulyoungparlez/status/1102343756777439233 |url-status=live }}</ref> The soundtrack album was released in 1987 as a physical [[Phonograph record|vinyl]] and [[compact disc]], but has since gone out of print. It is available for download on [[iTunes]].<ref>[https://music.apple.com/gb/album/planes-trains-automobiles/900265305 iTunes Store]  Retrieved December 14, 2014.</ref> "Everytime You Go Away" and "Power to Believe" were not included on the album (the soundtrack instead featured the original version of "Power to Believe" with lyrics). The instrumental version of "Power to Believe" was not released until 2014, when The Dream Academy included it on its [[compilation album]] ''[[The Morning Lasted All Day: A Retrospective]].''
