“A biographical documentary doesn't get any better than this.”—Hollywood Reporter
The wild life of gonzo journalist Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is examined in this amazing documentary from Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney. The film addresses the major touchstones in Thompson’s life—his ill-fated relationship with the Hell’s Angels, his near-successful bid for the office of sheriff in Aspen in 1970, the notorious landmark Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his involvement in Senator George McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign, and much more. Thompson’s writings are given powerful, brooding voice by narrator and long-time friend Johnny Depp.

Goofs:
Factual errors: When the film mentions that Hunter Thompson had a crush on Jefferson Airplane singer Grace Slick, archival footage instead shows the Airplane's first female singer, Signe Anderson.
