Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Summary

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.

Johnny Depp was the perfect actor for this role. Going on a drug binge in Vegas. I always thought he looks like a person on drugs any way.
