Casablanca is a classic romantic drama film set in World War II. It centers around an American expatriate, Rick, who owns a nightclub in Casablanca. The city is a refuge for those looking to escape the horrors of the war, where people obtain exit visas to America. One day, a woman from Rick's past, Ilsa, comes into his club with her husband, Victor. Victor is a Czechoslovakian resistance leader hunted by the Germans. Ilsa had left Rick without explanation in Paris prior to his arrival in Casablanca. Now she seeks Rick's help to secure exit visas for her and Victor. Torn between his love for Ilsa and doing the right thing, Rick eventually helps them escape, leaving behind his chance for personal happiness. At the end of the film, Rick famously tells Ilsa, "Here's looking at you, kid," signaling his acceptance of their goodbye. Casablanca is widely regarded as one of the greatest films in the history of cinema.
