Welcome to Sin City. This town beckons to the tough, the corrupt, the brokenhearted. Some call it dark… Hard-boiled. Then there are those who call it home — Crooked cops, sexy dames, desperate vigilantes. Some are seeking revenge, others lust after redemption, and then there are those hoping for a little of both. A universe of unlikely and reluctant heroes still trying to do the right thing in a city that refuses to care.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rodriguez quit the Directors Guild to keep Miller's co-director credit—he literally paid a fine to honor the comic's god.
The film's hyper-stylized violence was designed to feel like memory, not reality—Miller's comics as traumatic recall.
