The Bucket List
Adventure, comedy, drama. Corporate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers end up sharing a hospital room and discover they have two things in common: a desire to spend the time they have left doing everything they wanted to do before they die and an unrealised need to come to terms with who they are. Together they embark on the road trip of a lifetime, becoming friends along the way and learning to live life to the fullest.
