English Summary:

The Winner is a 1996 film directed by Alex Cox and written by Wendy Riss based on her play A Darker Purpose. Most noted for its quirky cast (Vincent D'Onofrio, Richard Edson, Michael Madsen, Billy Bob Thornton, and Frank Whaley) and art department, including production designer Cecilia Montiel.

Phillip is a naive nobody with an uncanny knack for winning in a casino. Not much caring if he wins or loses, Phillip goes on a weeks-long hot streak in Las Vegas that ultimately comes to the attention of a lot of people who want his money.

Lusting after it most is Louise, a lounge singer and con artist who seduces Phillip in the Liberace museum, then lies to him that she is $150,000 in debt from medical and funeral expenses for her parents.

Her ex-husband Wolf wants a piece of the action as well. He just happens to be Phillip's brother, and is lugging around the corpse of their own dead father. Louise's current boyfriend Jack is another interested party, as is a loan shark, Kingman, and a mob hit man, Joey, who's perfectly willing to shoot innocent bystanders in the casino if it'll get him what he wants. Phillip seems helpless against them, but there may be more to him than meets the eye.

Hungarian Summary:

Phillip öngyilkossága előtt úgy dönt, hogy pörget még egyet a ruletten, és a- győ világ. Öt héten át folyamatosan nyer. Erre apellál Vegasban mindenki: Lou- ise, aki szerelmet hazudik neki, hogy a fiú cserébe rendezze tartozását; Wolf, a báty, aki némi apróért békén hagyná; Jack, a pocakos-parókás kisfőnök, aki hol Louise-zal akar lelépni, hol pedig a nagyfőnöknek, Kingmannek szeretne a kedvében járni; és maga Kingmann és érintett, mint földre szállt gonosz, aki leküzdeni való lelket lát Philben.
