'Martin Scorsese's intimate epic about money, sex and brute force is a grandly conceived study of what happens to goodfellas from the mean streets when they outstrip their wildest dreams and achieve the pinnacle of wealth and power.' Variety In a town where even marriage is a business deal, Ace makes a gambler's proposal to Ginger: 'Wanna take a chance?' YOU ALL SHOULD.
Martin Scorsese directs this adaptation of Nicholas Pileggi's book. At first, he's a great success in the job, but over the years, problems with his loose-cannon enforcer Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), his ex-hustler wife Ginger (Sharon Stone), her con-artist ex Lester Diamond (James Woods) and a handful of corrupt politicians put Sam in ever-increasing danger. In early-1970s Las Vegas, low-level mobster Sam 'Ace' Rothstein (Robert De Niro) gets tapped by his bosses to head the Tangiers Casino.
