Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride: Hunter S. Thompson on Film
Nick Nolte narrates this acclaimed bio-documentary about the maverick writer and Gonzo journalist that includes interviews with many of the 'outlaw celebrities' he inspired including Sean Penn, Johnny Depp, Gary Busey and John Cusack. Through archive footage and revealing interviews with family, friends, partners-in-crime (notably Ralph Steadman), and the man himself, Tom Thurman's film is a fascinating glimpse into the mind, life, and death, of a literary icon.
