"The Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.
The film reunited John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, and Jon Polito after their appearances in Miller's Crossing (1990), also written and directed by the Coen brothers.
The Stranger:

When Walter is smashing the red car with the crowbar, the other man runs out shouting at him, but his lips don't actually move.
