David Locke is a world-weary American journalist who has been sent to cover a conflict in northern Africa, but he makes little progress with the story. When he discovers the body of a stranger who looks similar to him, Locke assumes the dead man's identity. However, he soon finds out that the man was an arms dealer, leading Locke into dangerous situations. Aided by a beautiful woman, Locke attempts to avoid both the police and criminals out to get him.

User Reviews
The story is not very compelling, but the photography is quite good
Antonioni is original, different to the core, interpretation oriented, minimalist filmmaker and this film smokes out existential crisis.
Antionioni’s Passenger (1975) is about the freedom in being someone else (and the pitfalls of it.)
Slow pace , visually beautiful, great performances, Jack Nicholson in his peak.. best open cinema experience
It's an Antonioni's thriller, so the very mistery to be solved is human behaviour. Slow, intriguing and beautifully shot
Very slow and cerebral take on the thriller genre. The filmmaking is fascinating even if this probably isn’t for the birds. That last shot!
Antonioni’s flavour of slow melancholia really works for me, and this one just might be his best.
Quite slow-paced, but there's a great story to it.
What your expectation of entertainment is not what it is. But anyone can watch it for Nicholson.
Compelling existential meditation about a man who, without explanation, steals the identity of a corpse. Final shot is cinema alchemy.
