The movie Showgirls, which came out in 1995, is infamous for its provocative storyline. Directed by Paul Verhoeven, who previously directed the popular thriller Basic Instinct, the film takes place in Las Vegas and follows Nomi Malone, a determined young woman looking to establish herself as a dancer while trying to leave her past behind. Elizabeth Berkley delivers an impressive performance as Nomi, a tenacious and driven woman who won’t let anything stand in the way of her aspirations. After scoring a gig at the Stardust Casino, Nomi finds herself immersed in a world of sex, drugs, and fame.
