FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS

"A deliciously cheesy dance movie. Features hilariously bad dialogue, delectably fun music, and some of the best dance scenes choreographed in recent memory." -Decider

"A remarkably exhilarating and surprisingly insightful dance drama." -TheFilmFile.com

Journalist Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his lawyer Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas on a drugs binge. They nominally cover news stories, including a convention on drug abuse, but also sink deeper into a frightening psychedelic otherworld. As Vietnam, Altamont and the Tate killings impinge from the world of TV news, Duke and Gonzo see casinos, reptiles and the American dream. An ensemble supporting cast includes roles by Gary Busey, Ellen Barkin, Christina Ricci, Cameron Diaz, Tobey Maguire, Lyle Lovett, Flea, Harry Dean Stanton, Penn Jillette, Verne Troyer and the voice of Debbie Reynolds!
