Set in 1977, Jack Horner is a porn movies maker, one night he goes to spend some time in a nightclub where he sees Eddie Adams, a young that he thinks he is so talented. Horner offers Eddie a job to join their world. After making many movie and become famous in this world, Eddie becomes so cocky but his end comes quickly.
Considering the potentially explosive nature of the yarn, set in the porn world, Anderson's strategy is remarkably nonjudgmental and nonsensationalistic, largely due to his love and respect for all the characters and his impressive storytelling skills.

...loud, gaudy, profane, thoughtful, and risqué; you can't say it isn't fun in its own exuberant way.
Boogie Nights is an impassioned and creative portrait of American souls in distress from a young, passionate filmmaker who threw himself headlong into his movies (his follow-up, Magnolia, pushes even further).
Comparisons are invidious, but inescapable: Boogie Nights is the most stunningly accomplished, attention-grabbing movie by a sophomore director since Pulp Fiction.
With Boogie Nights we know we're not just watching episodes from disparate lives but a panorama of recent social history, rendered in bold, exuberant colors.
