Casino

30th Anniversary Presentation

Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci star in director Martin Scorsese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion, and 24-karat greed toppled an empire in 1970s Las Vegas. This epic masterpiece, nominated for an Academy Award, unravels the high-stakes drama behind the city’s mob-controlled casino empire and the players who risk it all.

Anchored by an all-star ensemble, including Robert De Niro as Sam “Ace” Rothstein, a brilliant Jewish gambler tasked with running a casino, Sharon Stone in her Oscar-nominated role as his fiery wife, and Joe Pesci as a volatile mob enforcer, Casino examines loyalty and morality within a world where fortunes—and lives—can change in an instant.

Infused with Scorsese’s masterful direction and a pulse-pounding wall-to-wall soundtrack, the film delves into the intersection of crime and tradition, spotlighting Ace’s Jewish identity as he navigates the morally fraught world of organized crime and professional gambling. Thirty years later, Casino remains an iconic testament to Scorsese's genius and the allure of sin city.

This special event is presented in partnership with "Sundays at The U with Movies."
