Leaving Las Vegas - Special Edition

Winner of the Best Actor Oscar® Nicolas Cage and Best Actress nominee Elisabeth Shue star in an intimate portrait of love and loss set in the seedy fringes of Las Vegas. Nominated for two Academy Awards®, Leaving Las Vegas is the story of Ben (Cage – Gone In Sixty Seconds, Adaptation, Snake Eyes), a burnt-out alcoholic who gets fired from his production studio and decides to go to Las Vegas on a mission: to drink himself to death. In the city where the bars never close, he meets Sera (Shue – Hollow Man, City of Angels, The Saint), a young prostitute on the run from her former pimp. These two unlikely souls form a unique bond that will profoundly change them forever. What follows is a heartwrenching portrayal of sacrifice and unconditional love.
