The Bucket List

ActionAdventureComedyDrama97 min

A shared hospital room brings together two men with little in common: Jack Nicholson’s Edward Cole, a sharp-tongued billionaire, and Morgan Freeman is Carter Chambers, a mechanic facing the same terminal illness. When they start writing down everything they still want to do, the list becomes a globe-spanning escape from doctors, routines, and unfinished business. Their trip takes them from racetracks to safaris and the Taj Mahal, as Edward’s money opens doors and Carter’s quieter outlook keeps pulling the journey back toward the lives they left behind.
