Young playwright Barton Fink (John Turturro), determined to become a success, travels to Hollywood where he immediately obtains a contract, only to develop writer's block when he discovers he is to write a wrestling movie for a faded 40s star. The Los Angeles heat, his dingy hotel and a noisy neighbour (John Goodman) combine to increase the pressure on him, and Barton begins to lose his grip on reality. (Universal Pictures UK)
