Inhaltsangabe: Jeff Lebowski ist der wohl trägste Mensch von Los Angeles. Während am anderen Ende der Welt
der Golfkrieg tobt, lebt der Alt-Hippie geistig noch immer in den Siebzigern. Er entspannt zum
Ambient-Sound von Walgesängen und ernährt sich ausschließlich von White Russians; selten
legt er mal den Joint aus der Hand.

Bowling mit seinen Freunden Walter und Donny ist das einzige, zu dem er sich aufraffen kann.
Doch mit dem "easy going" ist es schlagartig vorbei, als der Dude mit einem Millionär aus
Pasadena verwechselt wird.

Erst verprügeln ihn zwei Geldeintreiber, um Schulden seiner angeblichen Frau Bunny bei ihm
einzukassieren, dann wird eben jene Bunny entführt, und der "echte" Mr. Lebowski bitte den
Dude, als Kurier zu fungieren. Doch als er die Lösegeldübergabe vermasselt, findet er sich
plötzlich in einem undurchschaubaren Geflecht verschiedenster Interessen, verfolgt und bedroht
von Gangstern, der Polizei und einem Trio deutscher Nihilisten.

Welche Rolle spielt dabei der Pornoproduzent Jackie Treehorn? Was reizt Lebowskis Tochter
Maude, eine Avantgarde-Künstlerin, an einem Loser wie ihm? Und ist Bunny überhaupt entführt
worden? Ausgerechnet der Dude, die Personifizierung des Nichtstuns, muß nun handeln, um zu
überleben ...
