Leaving Las Vegas (1995) (original) (raw)

Avowed alcoholic Ben drank away his family, friends and, finally, his job. With deliberate resolve, he burns the remnants of his life and heads for Las Vegas to end it all in one final binge. On the Strip, Ben picks up a street-smart hooker named Sera in what might have been another excess in his self-destructive jag. Instead, their chance meeting becomes a respite on the road to oblivion as something connects between these two disenfranchised souls.
