About
During disco's 1970s heyday, 17-year-old busboy Eddie Adams (Mark Wahlberg) is looking for a break when he is spotted by veteran porn director Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds).
Horner rechristens Eddie 'Dirk Diggler' and makes him a star of adult cinema. Enjoying his new-found fame and a hedonistic lifestyle to match, Eddie is little prepared for the changes in the porn industry that are to come with the arrival of the 1980s and the rise of video tape.
Written and directed by Oscar® winner Paul Thomas Anderson (One Battle After Another), this electrifying sophomore breakout (screening from a brand new 4K restoration) features a stellar cast including Wahlberg, Reynolds, John C. Reilly, Heather Graham, Don Cheadle, William H. Macy with Oscar® winners Julianne Moore and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Propelled by stunning camerawork and inspired set pieces, Boogie Nights is an undisputed classic of American independent film.
