"We were somewhere around Barstow when the drugs began to take hold."
Synopsis: If you've ever tried to read this Hunter S. Thompson classic, then just imagine the difficulty making a movie out of Thompson's nonlinear, hallucinatory journey in the company of Dr. Gonzo and many, many drugs. Only a director like Gilliam could pull it off, ably assisted by an all-star cast, inventive effects and a wicked soundtrack.
