FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (CRITERION COLLECTION)

Details

• Release Year: 1998
• Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Drama
• Plot: 'We were somewhere around Barstow when the drugs began to take hold.'; ; It is 1971, and journalist Raoul Duke barrels towards Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, accompanied by a trunkful of contraband and his slightly unhinged Samoan attorney, Dr. Gonzo. But what is ostensibly a cut-and-dry journalistic endeavor quickly descends into a feverish psychedelic odyssey and an excoriating dissection of the American way of life. Director Terry Gilliam and an all star cast (headlined by Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro) show no mercy, bringing Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's legendary Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to the screen, creating a film both hilarious and savage.
