Leaving Las Vegas

Leaving Las Vegas

1995

An incisive portrait of an alcoholic Hollywood executive (Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage) who moves to Las Vegas to drink himself to death. Elisabeth Shue plays a prostitute who comes to know and love him, without trying to change him or upset his nihilistic agenda. Cage and Shue mesmerize as a marginalized couple who cling to each other despite the direness of their circumstances.
