Synopsis:
Where The Buffalo Roam:- "I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone... but they`ve always worked for me".
Comic star Bill Murray is at his wildest as America`s leading "Gonzo" journalist, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the legendary underground reporter whose passion for writing was second only to his love of weird chemicals, alcohol, violence and insanity. Along with best friend Carl Lazlo, Esq (Peter Boyle), Thompson offers a manic look back at the 60s and 70s as an eyewitness to everything from a free-for-all San Francisco drug trial to a one-on-one bathroom interview with then Presidential candidate Richard Nixon.

This off-the-wall comedy also boasts a musical score by rock superstar Neil Young and a hit-crammed soundtrack featuring Bob Dylan, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Temptations, The Pointer Sisters and Jimi Hendrix.

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas:- "Four Days, Three nights, Two Convertibles, One City"

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.

Fuelled by a suitcase full of mind-bending pharmaceuticals, Duke and Gonzo set off on a fast and furious ride through non-stop 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.

Capturing the insane madness of Hunter S. Thompson`s literary classic was the challenge that director Terry Gilliam openly embraced. Buy the ticket. Take the ride!
