Ben Sanderson, a hard-core alcoholic, drives to Las Vegas after being fired from his film production job and divesting himself of all possessions. He plans to drink himself to death within four weeks. He meets Sera, a prostitute; they fall in love and he moves in with her. Each pledges not to try to change the others chosen destiny, and they carry on a romance over Bens last weeks.
Ben (Cage) je alkoholičar koji zbog svoje uznapredovale ovisnosti ostaje bez posla. Uzima novac od otpremnine i odlazi u las Vegas s jednom jedinom namjerom, a to je ubiti se alkoholom. Uzima sobu u jeftinom motelu i opija se do besvijesti. U potrazi za društvom upoznaje prostitutku Seru (Shue) i plaća joj da s njim provede noć. Međutim, on ne traži seks nego razgovor. Između njih dvoje razvija se poseban odnos, iako se Sera još vezana uz svog svodnika Yurija (Sands). NO, uskoro ostaje sama i potpuno se posvećuje Benu. Dovodi ga k sebi u stan, a on ima samo jedan uvjet: da ona nikada ne traži od njega da prestane piti. Dvoje osamljenih, očajnih ljudi na rubu uništenja zavoljet će se bezuvjetno i na trenutak pronaći utjehu jedno u drugome. Iako Sera želi spasiti Bena, zna da je potpuno nemoćna i da je samo pitanje dana kad će Ben ostvariti namjeru zbog koje je došao...
Mike Figgis grim drama documents a romantic triangle of sorts involving prostitute Sera (Elisabeth Shue), failed Hollywood screenwriter Ben (Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage), and the constant flow of booze which he loves more dearly than life itself. Arriving in Las Vegas with the intention of drinking himself to death, Ben meets Sera, and they gradually begin falling for one another. From the outset, however, Ben warns Sera that no matter what, she can never ask him to quit drinking, a condition to which she grudgingly agrees. A darkly comic tragedy, Leaving Las Vegas charts the brief romantic convergence of two desperately needy people who together find a brief flicker of happiness. . Jason Ankeny
