Prince Avalanche is a comedy-drama film directed by David Gordon Green. The movie takes place in the summer of 1988 and follows two highway road workers named Alvin and Lance, played by Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch, respectively.

Alvin and Lance are assigned to repaint the yellow dividing lines on a long stretch of highway that passes through a remote and fire-ravaged forest. The isolated landscape becomes the backdrop for their misadventures and a catalyst for their introspection.

Alvin, a serious and introspective man, takes the job as an opportunity to escape from his city life and reflect on his relationship with his girlfriend, Madison, who he left behind. He is committed to completing the work with precision and seriousness, taking pleasure in the solitude and the beauty of nature.

On the other hand, Lance is a carefree and impulsive individual who sees the job as an extended camping trip. He enthusiastically embraces their isolation, using their time in the wilderness to party, drink, and pursue fleeting romances with local women. Lance constantly irritates Alvin with his carefree attitude, disrupting his carefully planned routine.

As the summer progresses, tensions between Alvin and Lance rise. Their conflicting personalities, views on work, and approach to life clash, leading to frequent arguments. However, through their disagreements and misunderstandings, they gradually gain a deeper understanding of each other and themselves.

In the midst of their personal struggles, Alvin and Lance encounter several quirky characters during their highway work, each with their own unique stories and perspectives. These encounters and conversations further contribute to the men's personal growth and introspection.

As the summer draws to a close, Alvin and Lance's time together comes to an end. They part ways, taking with them the lessons learned, newfound perspectives, and a better understanding of themselves and the women they left behind.

Prince Avalanche explores the themes of isolation, friendship, personal growth, and the complexities of human relationships. It offers a blend of comedic moments and poignant introspection as the characters navigate the challenges posed by the remote landscape and their own emotional struggles.
