Adaptation (2002) follows Charlie Kaufman (Cage), a screenwriter grappling with self-doubt in his professional and personal spheres, despite his initial triumph with an Academy Award®-nominated script. Tasked with adapting "The Orchid Thief," a true story about orchid enthusiast John Laroche (Cooper), Charlie finds himself at a creative impasse. The book, penned by Susan Orlean (Streep), delves into Laroche's escapades in the Florida Everglades and the universal yearning for passion. Charlie's struggle intensifies when his twin brother, Donald (Cage), moves in and declares his own aspirations to become a screenwriter. Donald's script about a serial killer with multiple personalities quickly gains traction, leaving Charlie feeling even more inadequate. In a desperate attempt to overcome his writer's block, Charlie decides to incorporate his own struggles into the script about Laroche and Orlean. As the narrative unfolds, Charlie's creative process sets off a series of events that profoundly affect all the characters involved.
