Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride Hunter S Thompson on Film [2006]

Product Description

In this acclaimed documentary narrated by Nick Nolte, experience the true story of the American master whose gonzo reportage defined an era while his depraved appetites forged a legend. Through archival footage and revealing interviews with family, friends, partners in crime and Thompson himself, meet the man and the myth who created his own unforgettable world of fear, loathing, journalistic genius, shotgun golf and a cannon-fired funeral to live on as one of the most extraordinary literary icons of all time.






Hunter S. Thompson didn’t write stories, he lived them. This documentary about a life that was often out of control, and always interesting, captures Thompson’s spirit through stories told by some of the outlaw celebrities he inspired. Nick Nolte, Johnny Depp, and Sean Penn are among the voices who piece together the biography of the man who put Gonzo Journalism on the map.
