Ben is an alcoholic with no future and no friends. Sacked by the Hollywood studio where he works, Ben heads to Las Vegas to drink himself to death. But when he arrives, he meets Sera, a sex worker. They fall in love and decide to live together, accepting each other as they are to the very end.

Nicolas Cage won the Academy Award® for Best Actor with his extraordinary portrayal of a self-destructive alcoholic in this woozy masterwork from director Mike Figgis. With Oscar®-nominated support from Elisabeth Shue, Leaving Las Vegas grasps at grace from the brink of a psychological void.
