Las Vegas... Running from a troubled past and possessed of a raw and riveting dancing talent, Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley) is soon introduced to the arena of the sensual, pulsating stage shows on the legendary Strip and the powerful men and women who run them.

One of those drawn to Nomi's beauty and talent is Zack (Twin Peaks’ Kyle MacLachlan), the ambitious entertainment director at the Stardust. Another is Cristal (Gina Gershon), the glamorous, coke-snorting star of the stage show "Goddess," who may make her...or break her.

As the complex bonds of passion, jealousy and love form between them, Nomi is drawn deeper into the world she so desperately desires and the allure of the spotlight she craves. It's a world of passion, power and personal moral choices where everything - and everyone - has a price.

Whilst Showgirls was panned on its release 30 years ago, and is considered by some as one of the worst films of all time, recent critical re-evaluation has seen the film become a cult classic – a scathing satire from maximalist auteur Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Basic Instinct, Benedetta). Whatever side you fall on, Showgirls is an unmissable cinematic experience.
