Rated X 2000

Rated X is the incredible true-life story of the notorious Cain and Abel of the adult entertainment world. It would have been a mistake to portray Artie and Jim Mitchell as simple lowlifes when in truth they were savvy businessmen and successful pioneers in the burgeoning porn film market. At a time when moral and artistic freedoms were being challenged on every front and in every strata of society, it was the Mitchell brothers who stood up to the law and even the Mafia. Rated X traces each step of their development, from their troubled childhoods, loves, dreams, and fears, right through to their breakout success with the discovery of Marilyn Chambers and the creation of the porn classic, Behind the Green Door.
