Plot
Based on the debut novel by recent University of Oregon graduate Chuck Palanhiuk about a confused young man in the not too distant future. With no family or close friends, he frequents cancer and disease support groups as a way to bond with others, pretending to be terminally ill or feigning various other infirmities to fit in. Sick of his dead end, white bread, white collar corporate career and disgusted with the empty consumer culture that his generation has been doomed to inherit, he and a very devious friend named Tyler Durden create a new club where young men come to relieve their frustrations by beating each other to a pulp. The popularity of this club grows exponentially, and eventually some very profound rules are created to govern it. Because one of those rules is no more than 50 people to a fight club, soon new fight clubs are popping up everywhere and spread across the nation. Tyler Durden, the fight club's founder, quickly becomes a cult hero of epic proportions, a new messiah for a dead generation. While all this is happening, the nameless, narrating main character manages to get involved in a love triangle with Tyler and a girl named Marla who seems to have an endless supply of ex-boyfriends just as screwed up as he is.

Když nemůžete půl roku usnout, celý okolní svět vám začne připadat jako nekonečný sen. Všechno kolem vás je nedokonalou xeroxovou kopií sebe sama. Chodíte do práce, díváte se na televizi a jste vděčni za to, když občas ztratíte vědomí a nevíte o světě. Lidí s podobnými problémy moc není, ale mladý úspěšný úředník, který si říká Jack, je jedním z nich. Má slušnou práci, vydělává slušné peníze, ale trpí nejtěžší formou nespavosti. Na služební cestě se Jack seznámí s Tylerem Durdenem, který mu nabídne příbytek pod podmínkou, že mu vrazí pořádnou ránu. Tato "výměna názorů" se oběma zalíbí a brzy vznikne první Klub rváčů. Místo, kde můžou mladí muži, znechucení světem, odložit své starosti a stát se na pár minut zvířaty.
