"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" is the story of executive Neal Page, desperately trying to get home in time to spend the Thanksgiving holidays with his family. Along the way, he encounters a number of obstacles and is given support by a fellow traveler, who is a hapless, but cheerful musician named, Del Griffith.
The well meaning Griffith seems to get Page into one funny and frustrating mishap after another, resulting in slapstick comedy and embarrassment. "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" contains the comedy characteristic of many John Hughes films. However, this film is not particularly meaningful, just a laugh.
