FIGHT CLUB SIGNED SCRIPT BY 5 BRAD PITT & EDWARD NORTON

Fight Club is a 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. The book follows the experiences of an unnamed protagonist struggling with insomnia. The insomnia is aggravated by constant jet lag. It is also implied that he is isolated and often questions his work and values. Inspired by his doctor's exasperated remark that insomnia is not suffering, he finds relief by impersonating a seriously ill person in several support groups. An encounter with a fellow "tourist" - Marla - drives him back into insomnia. Again an insomniac, he happens to meet a mysterious anarchist named Tyler Durden and establishes an underground fighting club as radical psychotherapy.

In 1999, director David Fincher adapted the novel into a film of the same name, which after a positive critical response but lower than expected box-office results, acquired a cult following. The film's notoriety heightened the profile of the novel and that of its author, Chuck Palahniuk.
