Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor), a young man with few
prospects and fewer ambitions, lives in economically depressed Edinburgh. Like
most of his friends, Renton is a heroin addict who loves the drug's blissful
nothingness; financing his habit also provides excitement and challenges that
his life otherwise lacks. Renton's two best friends are also junkies: Sick Boy
(Jonny Lee Miller), a snappy dresser obsessed with James Bond, and Spud (Ewan
Bremner), a guileless nerd who suggests Pee Wee Herman's debauched cousin.
Renton and his pals also hang out with Begbie (Robert Carlyle), a borderline
psychotic who loathes junkies even though he drinks like a fish. After one too
many brushes with the law, Renton kicks heroin and moves to London, where he
finds a job, a flat, and something close to peace of mind. However, Sick Boy,
Begbie, and Spud all arrive at his doorstep on the trail of a big score,
leading Renton back into drugs and crime. (filmaffinity.com)
