The Chicken Ranch is a charming little whorehouse settled on the outskirts of Laneville County, Texas.

A pure-hearted gardener is forced into the wilds of Washington, D.C. when his wealthy guardian dies. Shocked to discover that the real world doesn’t respond to the click of a remote, he stumbles into celebrity after being taken under the wing of a tycoon who mistakes his protégé’s horticultural mumblings for sagacious pronouncements on life and politics, and whose wife targets him as the object of her desire. 

Adapted from a novel by Jerzy Kosinski, this satire, both deeply melancholy and hilarious, is the culmination of Hal Ashby’s remarkable string of films in the 1970s, and a carefully modulated examination of the ideals, anxieties, and media-fueled delusions that shaped American culture during that decade.

It is 1971, and journalist Raoul Duke barrels toward Las Vegas—accompanied by a trunkful of contraband and his slightly unhinged Samoan attorney, Dr. Gonzo—to cover a motorcycle race. What should be a cut-and-dried journalistic assignment quickly descends into a feverish psychedelic odyssey. 

Director Terry Gilliam and an all-star cast, headlined by Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro, show no mercy in bringing Hunter S. Thompson’s excoriating dissection of the American way of life to the screen, creating a film both hilarious and savage.
