The People vs. Larry Flynt

The story of controversial pornography publisher Larry Flynt, and how he became a defender of free speech.

Details

The People vs. Larry Flynt is a 1996 film that follows the life of Larry Flynt, the controversial publisher of Hustler magazine. Set in the 1970s and 80s, Larry is depicted as a hedonistic and obnoxious character, but also as an individual who is determined to make an honest living through the publication of his adult magazine.

The story revolves around Larry's legal battles and his fight for freedom of speech. Facing constant opposition and lawsuits, Larry refuses to back down and becomes a prominent advocate for the First Amendment and the right to free expression. As his magazine gains popularity, he finds himself in court defending his constitutional rights against charges of obscenity and indecency.

The film explores themes of censorship, media ethics, and the limits of freedom of expression. While Larry's character is portrayed as unapologetically provocative, the movie delves into the question of whether society should protect unpopular or offensive speech in order to preserve the fundamental right to freedom of speech for all.

The People vs. Larry Flynt is a powerful and thought-provoking biographical drama that sheds light on the importance of defending civil liberties and the freedom to express oneself, even in the face of public backlash and legal battles.
