Nomi (Elizabeth Berkley) arrives in Las Vegas with only a suitcase and a dream of becoming a top showgirl. She quickly befriends Molly (Gina Ravera), who works at the high-profile Stardust Hotel, and lands a job at a seedy strip club. A chance meeting with Cristal (Gina Gershon), the Stardust's marquee dancer, and her powerful boyfriend, Zack (Kyle MacLachlan), brings Nomi one step closer to realizing her dream. But, as she ascends to the top, Nomi begins to wonder if it's all worth it.
"Director Verhoeven, a brilliant moviemaker, keeps punching Showgirls across with such galvanizing speed and vitality, such roaring movement and dazzling visuals, that you're continually sucked into every scene, even the stupidest ones." - Chicago Tribune
"Showgirls is one of the most honest satires of recent years" - Slant Magazine
"The dance sequences are fun and camp — reiterating Paul Verhoeven’s understanding that Showgirls is a film to be looked at rather than understood." - Collider
