Tribeca Festival Presents 30th Anniversary of Casino

Tribeca Festival Presents the 30th Anniversary of Casino at the Beacon Theatre on June 5. 

Las Vegas 1973; a city of glitter and dreams.  It’s a stage for billionaires, politicians and glamourous showgirls. Mecca to 30 million tourists and gamblers of all colors who arrive with high hopes and leave behind about 10 billion dollars every year. And paradise for the Mob. Sam “Ace” Rothstein (Robert De Niro), the consummate bookie who could change the odds merely by placing a bet, has come up through the ranks of the Midwestern mob to be picked by the bosses to front their entrée into Vegas.  In charge of four casinos, he ensures that the money keeps coming in and looks the other way as the skim flows out the back. But Ace can’t control the odds when it comes to Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone), the chip-hustling vamp who charms him and becomes his wife. The third member of his triangle of intrigue and obsession is Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), Ace’s best friend and fellow graduate of the city streets. Together Nicky and Ace run the perfect operation, with Ace in charge and Nicky providing the muscle. But as Nicky expands his interests and each man gains power, their lives become entangled in a story of hot temples, obstinacy, money, love and deception. A Universal Pictures release.

After the screening: A conversation featuring Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese moderated by Emmy-winning TV host, filmmaker, comedian, W. Kamau Bell.
