Danny Boyle directs this adaptation of Irvine Welsh´s novel which follows a group of young heroin addicts in Edinburgh. Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) is the most reflective member of a group that also includes compulsive womaniser Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller) and the hapless Spud (Ewen Bremner). Renton, Spud and Sick Boy´s issues with drugs alternatively irritate and amuse their friend Begbie (Robert Carlyle), a periodic psychopath whose outbursts of violence are one of the many factors that convince Renton to leave for London in the hope of starting a new life.
Renton enjoys some success remoulding himself as an estate agent in the English capital, but it isn´t long before his friends catch up with him. They want the money Renton has saved from his job to finance the drug deal that could make them all rich
