Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas



Raoul Duke: One of the things you learn from years of dealing with drug people, is that you can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug. Especially when it's waving a razor-sharp hunting knife in your eye.

Written by Terry Gilliam, Tony Grisoni, Tod Davies, Alex Cox; based on the book by Hunter S. Thompson   
Directed by Terry Gilliam
Plot: An extremely eccentric and odd journalist and his wacky lawyer travel to Las Vegas to cover a story, but end up on a series of drug induced escapades.

"Don't do drugs -- just do this film! Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro are wonderful and off-the-chart great in this film. Lots of trippy fun and off-the-wall dialogue. Classic."
