Plot
Summary: Strip club owner Larry Flynt and
his wife, Althea, create a pornographic magazine that
ignores society's morals and taboos. "Hustler"
magazine brings the Flynts not only millions in profit
but also the wrath of "decent" people. Flynt
and his overburdened attorney find themselves in courtrooms
all over the nation defending Larry against criminal
and civil charges. In the meantime, Flynt is beset
by paralysis, the result of an assassination attempt,
drug addiction, mental illness, and Althea's failing
health.

of publisher Larry Flynt, who caused major controversy
when he creates Hustler magazine in the 70s. Biased
