About High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story
In this film based on a true story, Stuey Ungar (Michael Imperioli) moves from teenage card prodigy to world-renowned gambling superstar. Early on, Stuey takes a liking to gambling, but his obsessive habits put him in debt to the mob. Vincent (Michael Nouri), a gangster with a family connection, offers a second chance in the form of a Las Vegas rummy competition. Stuey is victorious and moves on to a high-profile poker career, but with success comes a troubling lifestyle of addiction and excess.
