Fight Club is a 1999 American psychological thriller film directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter. The film is based on the 1996 novel of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk, which was inspired by the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault. The film's narrative is heavily influenced by the French New Wave and the German Expressionism movements, as seen in the works of Jean-Luc Godard and Fritz Lang.

The narrator's life is also influenced by his relationships with his doctor, played by Richmond Arquette, and his love interest, played by Helena Bonham Carter, who is a fan of the works of Marquis de Sade and Georges Bataille. As the story unfolds, the narrator becomes increasingly unhinged, and the film's narrative is influenced by the works of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. The film's use of non-linear storytelling and unreliable narration is also reminiscent of the works of Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick.
