Rated X
In a world of sex, drugs and fast fortunes, they are the kings.
Believing the world is ready for something new, two brothers fight the government, the mob, and each other to create a San Francisco porno dynasty. From the hit film, "Behind the Green Door," to their live shows, they shock the city and make millions. With huge profits, willing women and drugs everywhere, they rapidly descend into a nightmare of excess that leads to their lives spinning dangerously out of control.
Emilio Estevez (The Mighty Ducks) and Charlie Sheen (Five Aces) bring the incredible critically acclaimed true story of the Mitchell Brothers, the original San Francisco sex entrepreneurs, to the screen in this daring portrait of pornography.

Rated X tells the story of the Mitchell brothers who filmed and distribued porno mostly between the 60's and the 80's. Both had drug problems but Jim, the eldest, got sober along the way. However, Artie could not do it and his life began to bottom out. The truth never quite came out at the trial but basically Jim killed Artie his youngest brother. What is disturbing here is that Emilio Estevez is the oldest brother to Charlie Sheen and we all have been witness to Sheen's unraveling life in the last months. The movie is not half-bad but it is basically a made-for-television movie filmed with a small budget.Crazy "true"story - Sterman
These guys were nuts. I saw a Hollywood true story on this before. These guys were pioneers of the porn industry. They were the first to produce movies and show them in their own movie theatre. Then when business was going down, they invented the concept of live sex shows (not strippers, actual intercourse). Drugs put one of these men in Prison and the other 6 feet under. I'm not a fan of ether Sheen and Estevez, but I must admit that they played these roles very well.
