When a writing assignment lands journalist Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and sidekick Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) in Las Vegas, they decide to make it the ultimate business trip. But before long, business is forgotten and trip has become the key word. Fueled by a suitcase full of mind-bending pharmaceuticals, Duke and Gonzo set off on a fast and furious ride through nonstop neon, surreal surroundings and a crew of the craziest characters ever (including cameo appearances by Cameron Diaz, Christina Ricci, Gary Busey and many others). But no matter where misadventure leads them, Duke and Gonzo discover that sometimes going too far is the only way to go.

Critics Consensus: Visually creative, but also aimless, repetitive, and devoid of character development.

Christopher Kelly

Depp and Del Toro deliver deliciously overstuffed ham-sandwich performances that more than compensate for the film's fractured narrative. But the real star here is director Gilliam.

All you will learn is that the irksome excesses of early 1970s living were left behind for a very good reason. They just weren't that much fun at all.

The flaccid film is a goon-show version of Thompson's commentary on the craziness of the American Dream.

The one stand-out is Johnny Depp, who brings Hunter S Thompson to bald-headed, pigeon-toed life.
