Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a 1987 American road trip comedy film written, produced, and directed by John Hughes. The film stars Steve Martin as Neal Page, an uptight advertising executive, and John Candy as Del Griffith, an overly-friendly traveling salesman, who become unlikely companions after a snowstorm disrupts their travel plans. Stranded far from home, the pair embarks on a series of misadventures while attempting to get Neal home to his family in Chicago in time for Thanksgiving. Produced by Paramount Pictures and Hughes Entertainment, the film was shot primarily in New York state during 1987. Rewrites by Hughes and improvisation between Martin and Candy resulted in an initial cut that ran nearly four hours before being substantially shortened for theatrical release. The film's score was composed by Ira Newborn.
