An idealistic porn producer aspires to elevate his craft to an art when he discovers a hot young talent. Crackling with energy, stunningly filmed and brimming with humor and heartbreak, Boogie Nights announced Paul Thomas Anderson as one of the most promising directors of his generation. In the decade that followed, he would direct the misunderstood mosaic that is Magnolia, unlock Adam Sandler's dramatic talents in Punch Drunk Love, and craft one of the most celebrated period pieces of the new millennium in There Will Be Blood. Roger Ebert called the film, Anderson's second, "an epic of the low road, a classic Hollywood story set in the shadows."
