🎬 Planes, Trains & Automobiles 2 (2025)
👉 Steve Martin, John Candy, Laila Robins
Getting home for the holidays has never been this difficult — or this hilarious. Nearly four decades after the original journey of chaos, Planes, Trains & Automobiles 2 brings back the spirit of the beloved 1987 classic, with a new story of travel disasters, mismatched companions, and the unexpected power of friendship.
Steve Martin reprises his role as Neal Page, the high-strung advertising executive who once endured the most miserable — and meaningful — road trip of his life. Now older, wiser, and only slightly less irritable, Neal once again finds himself in a race against time to get home to Chicago in time for Thanksgiving. But fate, as always, has other plans.
Through a twist of circumstance, Neal crosses paths with someone tied to his past: a kindhearted stranger connected to the late Del Griffith (John Candy), the bumbling yet lovable shower-curtain-ring salesman who turned Neal’s nightmare journey into a lesson in gratitude and human connection. With echoes of Del’s warmth and humor guiding the way, the trip quickly spirals into a new gauntlet of missed flights, highway mishaps, and lodging disasters — proving that travel chaos is timeless.
Laila Robins joins the cast as Neal’s wife, whose steady presence at home underscores the urgency — and comedy — of his desperate trek. Along the way, Neal discovers that while the world has changed — with rideshare apps, endless security lines, and digital delays adding to the madness — some things never do: patience, laughter, and the simple joy of finding family in unexpected places.
Blending laugh-out-loud slapstick with heartfelt emotion, Planes, Trains & Automobiles 2 (2025) is more than a holiday comedy. It’s a nostalgic yet fresh celebration of resilience, kindness, and the enduring legacy of friendship — honoring John Candy’s unforgettable Del while inviting a new generation to join the ride.
Because no matter how much travel changes, one truth remains the same: getting home for the holidays will always be the adventure of a lifetime.
