Summary: Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, The Passenger is, on the simplest level, a suspense story of a man trying to escape his own life. This haunting story is a portrait of a drained journalist, played by Jack Nicholson, researching a documentary in the Sahara Desert, whose deliverance is an identity exchange with a dead man, accepting the consequences that it brings. The protagonist’s fate reflects each individual’s own private thoughts about real and/or imagined destiny.
