Too weird to live, too rare to die

Journalist Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his lawyer (Benicio Del Toro) have a business trip in Las Vegas spiced up with shitloads of drugs and alcohol. They feast on mescaline, LSD, cocaine, adrenochrome, ether, gin and opium. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is adapted from Hunter S. Thompson's novel of the same name and the excessive use of almost every type of drug known to civilized man. It's hilarious and crazed a movie by Terry Gilliam. Supporting actors include Mark Harmon, Tobey Maquire, Cameron Diaz, Flea, Harry Dean Stanton, Ellen Barkin, Christopher Meloni and the iconic figure of Gary Busey.
