Plots(1)
Oscar-nominated tale of a group of young drug addicts scoring and scamming their way through the hyper-kinetic world of drugs, sex, and rock and roll of 90's blue-collar Edinburgh. Starring Ewan McGregor in an unforgettable breakthrough performance, Trainspotting electrifies with its hilariously dark humor, stunning visuals and sharp honest take on both the exhilarating highs, and the terrifying lows, of addiction. (Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)
