Caddyshack is a 1980 American sports comedy film directed by Harold Ramis and starring Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, and Ted Knight. The movie takes place at the Bushwood Country Club, an exclusive golf resort in Illinois. The story revolves around Danny Noonan (Michael O’Keefe), a caddy for the club, and his relationship with the wealthy and eccentric members.

The film begins with the arrival of Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield), a boisterous and obnoxious businessman who wants to join the country club. His crude behavior and lack of respect for the club's traditions and rules immediately clash with the uptight Judge Elihu Smails (Ted Knight), who is a member of the club's board of directors.

Meanwhile, Danny Noonan is trying to figure out how to pay for college and decides to compete in the annual caddy tournament, hoping to win the scholarship prize. He receives advice and guidance from Ty Webb (Chevy Chase), a laid-back and skilled golfer who has a disdain for the club's elitism.

Throughout the movie, various subplots and comedic events unfold, including a love affair between Danny and the judge's niece, Lacey Underall (Cindy Morgan), and the antics of Carl Spackler (Bill Murray), an eccentric and deranged groundskeeper who is obsessed with eradicating a pesky gopher from the golf course.

As the caddy tournament comes to a close, tensions between Al Czervik and Judge Smails reach a boiling point during a high-stakes round of golf, resulting in a memorable confrontation on the green.

Caddyshack is a classic example of the type of comedy popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The film is full of irreverent humor, one-liners, and slapstick gags that helped to establish the careers of Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Rodney Dangerfield.

The film is also notable for its memorable soundtrack, which features popular songs from the era, including "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins and "The Way It Is" by Bruce Hornsby and the Range.

Despite mixed critical reviews upon its release, Caddyshack has become a cult classic over the years, revered by audiences for its irreverent humor and iconic characters. The movie has been celebrated for its ability to capture the culture and excesses of the 1980s.
