Jake Gyllenhaal plays the troubled and misunderstood Donnie Darko, a teen living in suburban Virginia who is told the world will come to an end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds.
Donnie's world predictably unravels; director Richard Kelly embarks on a journey that finds its way into the very headspace of the viewer; and this indie psychodrama becomes an immortal cult classic.
Every year it seems 'Donnie Darko' amasses a ton of new followers, and it has become a right-of-passage for any cinephile looking to make a dent in contemporary cult cinema.
