Narrated by Ron McLarty.
In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior--for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.

Follows the book but leaves out parts submitted by Kimberlyrol on July 23, 2018, 8:58am I couldn't think of a better actor to play the role of the protagonist and the film follow the book well, but there are some parts of the book that aren't in the film. Funny and crazy.
