Where the Buffalo Roam

Semi-biographical film based on the experiences of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.

Details

In the cult classic film Where the Buffalo Roam (1980), viewers are taken on a wild ride through the deranged adventures of Gonzo journalist Hunter Thompson, portrayed by Bill Murray, and his lawyer Oscar Acosta, known as Laslow in the film. The movie follows Thompson's attempts to cover the Super Bowl and the 1972 Presidential election, all while in his typical drug-induced state.

Thompson's drug-crazed escapades are hilariously sidetracked by his even more twisted and unpredictable friend Laslow. Throughout the film, the dynamic duo find themselves in outrageous and surreal situations, providing a comedic lens into the wild world of Thompson's unconventional journalism.

Where the Buffalo Roam is loosely based on real events and offers a fictionalized account of the experiences of the iconic Hunter Thompson. Directed by Art Linson, the film combines elements of comedy and drama to showcase Thompson's unorthodox approach to journalism and his unique perspective on American politics and culture.

With its eccentric characters, outrageous scenarios, and memorable performances by Murray and Peter Boyle, who plays Laslow, Where the Buffalo Roam stands as a quirky and entertaining tribute to the unconventional legacy of Hunter Thompson.
