National Lampoon's Vacation is a 1983 comedy film that follows the Griswold family, led by the well-meaning but bumbling father, Clark Griswold, on their cross-country road trip to the fictional amusement park, Walley World. The film humorously portrays the series of misadventures and mishaps the family encounters along the way, from car troubles to disastrous detours, all while Clark remains determined to give his family the perfect vacation. The film is a classic example of 1980s American comedy.
