Artie and Jim Mitchell - the tumultuous true story of two brothers, their overnight rise to fame and wealth in the world of adult filmmaking... and their downward spiral into tragedy.
From college 'art' film days to cashing in on the demand for porn films, the Mitchell brothers rode a rollercoaster ride of riches, drugs and free sex in the 70's.
With the 80's and the advent of video, the brother's drug habits and sexual infidelities are out of control, leading to increasingly violent confrontations... and a decline in their business empire.
In a climatic ending, Jim Mitchell realized that Art is beyond help and makes a decision that will change their lives forever.
The bizarre, tragic, true story of the porno mavens Artie and Jim Mitchell, known as the Mitchell Brothers is chronicled in this film directed by Emilio Estevez. It tells of their overnight rise to fame and wealth in the world of adult filmmaking - and their downward spiral into tragedy.
Estevez plays Jim Mitchell and real-life brother Charlie Sheen plays Artie Mitchell, San Francisco-based siblings who open the popular O'Farrell Theatre, introduce moviegoers to Marilyn Chambers and eventually slide into a world of cocaine addiction that leads to a nasty rivalry and murder.
