The griswolds go on the road trip from hell as everything that can go wrong does. Getting lost, car trouble, having to drive a relative who dies, meeting trashy cousins, losing luggage and credit cards, and finding the theme park they were going to visit closed.
This is a comedy classic because it's true to life. Who didn't have this experience as a kid going on a family road trip? For the time this was raunchy, and a few moments still are, but it was the satirical truth behind the movie that allows it to still work 40 years later. One of Chevy Chase's best roles and the start of a franchise that lasted a long time. Overall a funny start.
