It tells the story of a group of individuals who are outsiders in society and are searching for meaning and connection in the modern world.
One of the central themes of "The Misfits" is the idea of people who don't quite fit into the conventional roles and expectations of society. The characters are struggling with their own inner conflicts and trying to find their place in a rapidly changing America. The film explores their interactions and relationships against the backdrop of the Nevada desert, where they are involved in capturing wild mustangs.
