Raoul Duke and his attorney Dr. Gonzo drive a red convertible across the Mojave desert to Las Vegas with a suitcase full of drugs to cover a motorcycle race. As their consumption of drugs increases at an alarming rate, the stoned duo trash their hotel room and fear legal repercussions. Duke begins to drive back to L.A., but after an odd run-in with a cop, he returns to Sin City and continues his wild drug binge.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a 1998 dark comedy-drama that follows two drug-fueled misfits on a chaotic road trip through the Nevada desert. Based on Hunter S. Thompson's cult novel, the film stars Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro as they spiral through a haze of excess and paranoia in Sin City. This surreal, visually wild ride has become a cult classic for its unflinching portrayal of addiction and the American dream's darker side.
