Nicolas Cage (Face/Off, Con Air, National Treasure) and Elisabeth Shue (The Karate Kid, Adventures in Babysitting, Back to the Future Part II) deliver unforgettable performances in Leaving Las Vegas, a profoundly moving love story that appeared on over 100 10 Best lists in 1995 and was Roger Ebert's pick for Best Film of the Year. Cage's signature role earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor, while Shue received a nomination for Best Actress, and director Mike Figgis (Internal Affairs, Timecode) was nominated for Best Director and Best Screenplay. Ben Sanderson, a self-destructive alcoholic Hollywood screenwriter, has lost everything.

Severing all ties to his former life in Los Angeles, he heads to Las Vegas with one goal: to drink himself to death. There, he meets Sera, a beautiful but jaded prostitute. Drawn together by an unspoken pact of acceptance and respect, their unlikely bond reshapes their lives in ways neither could foresee. Rounding out the cast are Julian Sands (A Room with a View, Warlock, Arachnophobia), Richard Lewis (TV's Curb Your Enthusiasm, Robin Hood: Men in Tights), Steven Weber (TV's Wings, Single White Female, The Shining), Laurie Metcalf (Lady Bird, TV's Roseanne), Valeria Golino (Rain Man, Hot Shots!), Emily Procter (TV's CSI: Miami, The West Wing), and French Stewart (TV's 3rd Rock from the Sun, Stargate).
