The Beverly Theater brings Paul Thomas Anderson's acclaimed 1997 drama to the screen in downtown Las Vegas's Arts District. Set in the San Fernando Valley during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the film follows a young nightclub dishwasher who becomes a rising star in the adult entertainment industry. With its sprawling ensemble cast, period-perfect soundtrack of disco and new wave hits, and Anderson's signature long takes and tracking shots, the movie captures both the glamour and darkness of an era in transition.
The intimate 150-seat theater provides an ideal setting to experience this character-driven epic, which earned multiple Oscar nominations including Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress and Actor nods. The Beverly's excellent acoustics let the film's memorable soundtrack—featuring the Emotions, Night Ranger, and the Electric Light Orchestra—shine through while highlighting the nuanced performances that made this a touchstone of 1990s American cinema.
