Las Comm

An adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's novel of the same name. The film details a whacky search for the "American Dream", by Thompson and his crazed, Samoan lawyer. Fueled by the massive amount of drugs they purchased with an advance from a magazine to cover a sporting event in Vegas; they set out in the Red Shark. Encountering police, reporters, gamblers, racers, and hitchhikers; they search for some undefinable thing know only as the "American Dream" and find fear, loathing and hilarious adventures into the dementia of the modern American West.

It is 1971, and journalist Raoul Duke barrels toward Las Vegas - accompanied by a trunkful of contraband and his slightly unhinged Samoan attorney, Dr. Gonzo - to cover a motorcycle race. What should be a cut-and-dried journalistic assignment quickly descends into a feverish psychedelic odyssey. Director Terry Gilliam and an all-star cast headlined by Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro show no mercy in bringing Hunter S. Thompson’s excoriating dissection of the American way of life to the screen, creating a film both hilarious and savage.

When you think of gambling, you think Vegas…a manmade oasis in the middle of the desert. However, the secret behind Las Vegas is not the gambling and it's not even the connections. This mega city's power is electricity. The Las Vegas power grid is a network of six power plants fuelled by nearly every source of energy: hydro-electric, coal and natural gas. Together, these plants pump electricity along nearly 16,000 kilometres of power lines. The character of this neon play land is matched by the people who keep it running – it is a place and a people who thrive on risk and an independent, maverick spirit. From Harley-riding linemen to the no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is Mayor Oscar Goodman…and from live wire helicopter workers to a quirky couple living “off-the-grid”…one thing is very clear. Vegas natives are electrifying. This episode takes viewers inside Las Vegas’ incredible generation and distribution systems and examines current transformations that are occurring in order to prevent a possible black out.

Nella scintillante città di Las Vegas, un aitante pilota automobilistico dalla voce d'oro affronta un'interminabile serie di disavventure pur di trovare i soldi necessari a comprare una macchina da corsa e partecipare, così, ad un'importante gara.
