On August 4, the Academy Award-nominated serio-comic biopic The People vs. Larry Flynt makes its global 4K UHD debut. Director Miloš Forman (Amadeus) and screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (Ed Wood) expose how Larry Flynt became an anti-censorship crusader, changing adult entertainment with Hustler magazine. The Limited 30th Anniversary Edition features a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm negative, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras.
Larry Flynt (Woody Harrelson, Natural Born Killers) begins publishing a tantalizing newsletter to promote the dancers at his Hustler Go-Go club in Cincinnati. Encouraged by the overwhelming response, he turns it into a national magazine, setting out to challenge Playboy and Penthouse by pushing adult entertainment beyond its established boundaries. When Hustler publishes nude photos of a former First Lady, the magazine’s notoriety explodes.
As Hustler’s profile grows, Flynt becomes a high-profile target in the culture wars, facing obscenity charges and a series of legal battles over First Amendment rights. His fiercest allies are his dedicated attorney Alan Isaacman (Edward Norton, Fight Club) and Althea Leasure (Courtney Love, Man on the Moon), the former stripper who becomes his wife. The cast also includes Crispin Glover (Back to the Future), James Cromwell (Babe), Vincent Schiavelli (Ghost), Norm MacDonald (Saturday Night Live), and Larry Flynt in a surprise cameo. The People vs. Larry Flynt was Oscar nominated for Best Actor (Woody Harrelson) and Best Director (Miloš Forman). Forman won the Golden Globe for Best Director.
