Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt)’s Timeline and Summary
- We see a few subliminal blips of Tyler before our narrator officially meets him on a plane.
- When he gets a call from the narrator asking for a place to stay, Tyler kindly obliges.
- But first, they get into a fistfight in the parking lot of a bar. Why? Because Tyler wants to.
- This eventually becomes fight club, which Tyler grows without our narrator knowing.
- While this is happening, Tyler starts sleeping with Marla Singer and making soap. Not at the same time. We hope.
- After Tyler gives our narrator a chemical burn as a form of brand, he upgrades fight club to Project Mayhem.
- What is Project Mayhem? The first rule of Project Mayhem is you do not ask about Project Mayhem.
- It turns out that Tyler and our narrator are the same person. Yikes.
- Tyler tries to stop, um, himself, from stopping his plan to blow up credit card companies, but when our narrator shoots himself in the face, Tyler disappears for good.
