In “The Bucket List”, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are terminally ill cancer patients who decide to get out of the hospital and intensely enjoy their last days of life. The billionaire Edward Cole (Nicholson) and the mechanic Carter Chambers (Freeman) seem to have nothing in common. But conversation gradually shows that both men have a long list of goals they wish to accomplish before they kick the bucket, and a desire to discover what kind of men they really are. With a checklist that includes playing the poker tables in Monte Carlo, consuming abundant amounts of caviar and much more, these two terminally ill men will do their best to fit a lifetime of experience into their last remaining days while starting an unlikely, but truly remarkable, friendship.
