Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Meyer Lansky and Charlie "Lucky" Luciano controlled the New York underworld and wanted to expand westward.

Bugsy moved to Los Angeles and joined the film industry. Away from his family, two great passions will take over his life: the charming and moody Virginia Hill (Annette Bening) and her plan to build a luxurious gambling town in Las Vegas, in the middle of the Nevada desert.

The show tells the story (part biopic) of the man who gave birth to Las Vegas, with all its implications, his rise and fall by illegal business, in which the structure, acting and direction of the script highlight and shape this story. power, and recreate the scene in the artificial world of Las Vegas.

A great film from a director who was famous in the 1990s but has since been lost.

A plot of the posh underworld of 1940s America, but underlying it is an incomparable and devastating love affair between Ben Siegel and Virginia Hill.

Starring. Warren Beauty (Bugsy) , Annette Benning (Virginia), Harvey Keitel, Ben Kindsley

Winner of 2 Oscars, 1 Golden Globe - Best Film and Berlin Golden Lion
