Description
Donnie Darko is a distrubed adolescent from a semi-functional, upper-middle class family, gifted with a sharp intellect and vivid imagination but he's also a bit weird. Donnie's off his medication, and when his boredom is obliterated by a falling airline engine, he becomes increasingly delusional and convinced the world will end in 28 days. Aided by an imaginary friend, he embarks on an increasingly crazed series of actions, which horrify his teachers, scare his parents and amaze his friends.
Set in 1988, this social satire follows Donnie Darko, a cynical teenager who is visited on occasion by Frank, a giant rabbit that only he can see and who urges him to perform destructive pranks. Frank leads Donnie out of his home to inform him that the world will come to an end in less than a month. As Donnie begins to explore what it means to still be alive, he uncovers secrets of the universe that give him a tempting power to alter time and destiny.
