Bugsy
Directed by Barry Levinson, BUGSY tells the true story of legendary New York mobster Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel. Visiting Hollywood 'on business', the reckless and volatile Bugsy is drawn to Tinseltown and the glamour of the movies. Leaving his wife and kids in Scarsdale indefinitely, the womanizing Bugsy spends his time on movie lots and at Hollywood extravaganzas, contemplating his own potential stardom. But soon he falls hard for strong-willed actress Virginia Hill (Annette Bening), who isnt content with mistress status. A road trip to a down-trodden joint in the Nevada desert in a town called Las Vegas leads Bugsy to dream of building a world-class casino and turning the town into a moneymaker. Together Bugsy and Virginia--with backing from the mob--start building The Flamingo hotel and casino, hoping that legal gambling and five-star entertainment will entice the masses and rake in big bucks.A powerful drama based on the life of Mafia member Benjamin 'Bugsy' Seigel, the man who invented Las Vegas.
