Oscar® nominee Sharon Stone (1995 Best Actress, Casino) heads an all-star cast in this dark and comic film about a gambling con girl who meets her match in an Irish-American florist (Billy Connolly) with nothing to lose - except his heart.
After a series of life-altering personal revelations , Joe (Connolly) leaves New York and hits the road in search of adventure. In Louisville, Kentucky, he meets Hush (Stone), a sexy ex-stripper turned con girl who is in major debt to local crime boss George the Geek (Ian Holm). When Joe tries to intervene on her behalf, he winds up in trouble, too. With the Geek's henchman Gil Bellows (TV's Ally McBeal) hot on their trail, Hush and Joe pack up and head to Las Vegas, where Hush manages to steal not only Joe's money but his heart as well.
Beautiful Joe is an extraordinary film about ordinary people who take the biggest risks of their lives and win against all odds.
