Joe Pesci's first starring role after making a name for himself in "Raging Bull", "Ruby's Dream" is a poignant and searing saga of one man's desperate struggle to achieve his dreams. Pesci plays Ruby Dennis, a small time bowling alley/night club owner in a blue collar New Jersey neighbourhood who dreams of "making it" in the glitzy, glamourous world of Las Vegas. Pesci brings a gritty realism to this dark exploration of the murky world of broken dreams and lost hope, as he learns to accept what is truly important in his life.
