Synopsis

Siegfried and Roy – the most successful show in Las Vegas history. They embody the American dream until the attack of the tiger on October 2003. The documentary tells their journey from the German countryside all the way to the Olymp of Showbiz. It takes a look behind the glamour and talks about the price they paid for a life in the golden cage. They are Showbiz but Showbiz owns them, with body and soul.
