Las Vegas... Nomi Malone, a tough-as-nails drifter with a go-it-alone attitude and a murky past, arrives on the legendary Strip and sets about trampling on everyone around her as she fights her way up from stripper in a sleazy club to star showgirl.

The first NC-17 rated film to receive a wide theatrical release, Showgirls goes further than any other film of the 1990s in its depiction of consumerism, crass spectacle, and the dark side of the American dream. The film offers a delirious star-is-born satire and a terrifying vision of capitalism’s corruption of the soul.

Filmography: Basic Instinct (1992), She (2006).
