Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Samuel L. Jackson give riveting, career-defining performances in this taut crime thriller from Academy Award nominated director Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia).

Sydney (Hall) is a pro gambler who's a soft touch for hard luck cases. So when he meets John (Reilly), a stranger who's just burned through his savings in Vegas, the veteran decides to teach the rookie the secrets of the game. They have a great run in Reno... until John hooks up with Clementine (Paltrow), a part-time prostitute and Jimmy (Jackson), a slick casino insider. Now, a bungled ransom scheme threatens to turn all of their lives upside down in this gripping drama filled with devastating secrets, ruthless betrayals and deadly intentions.
