Set in 1941, an intellectual New York playwright named Barton Fink accepts a lucrative offer to write for a major Hollywood studio. Upon arrival in Los Angeles, he is assigned a low-brow wrestling picture and promptly develops a severe case of writer's block. Staying in the decaying, eerie Hotel Earle, he finds himself distracted by his aggressively friendly neighbor, Charlie Meadows, and the bizarre, surreal demands of the film industry. As his struggle to create a meaningful screenplay intensifies, the atmosphere shifts from frustratingly unproductive to terrifyingly nightmarish, leading to a dark and symbolic climax.
