WITHNAIL & I portrays the last throes of an eccentric friendship during the final days of the sixties. Withnail (R. E. Grant) and I (P. McGann) are two young would-be actors who wake up one morning to find only 90 days left in the decade. Bound together by poverty and dreams of stardom, they share a flat of indescribable squalor and live on a diet of booze, pills and grass. The two friends decide to spend a soul-cleansing weekend in the country in a primitive cottage borrowed from Withnail's eccentric uncle Monty (R. Griffiths). From the start things go horribly wrong and their dreams of an idyllic retreat rapidly degenerate into a hilarious nightmare!
