FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS Tributes

Description

Journalist Raoul Duke and his lawyer Dr. Gonzo drive from LA to Las Vegas on a drug binge.· They nominally cover news stories, including a convention on drug abuse, but also sink deeper into a frightening psychedelic otherworld. As Vietnam, Altamont and the Tate killings intrude from the world of TV news, Duke and Gonzo see casinos, reptiles and the American dream.
