Plots(1)
Bill Murray stars as Hunter S. Thompson, the legendary reporter with a sideways way of looking at the news, due in part to his love of alcohol and weird chemicals. In his journalistic adventures, he covers a free-for-all San Francisco drug trial, has a one-on-one bathroom interview with Richard Nixon and gives away his Superbowl tickets so that he can review the game from his hotel room. (official distributor synopsis)
