Taylor Hackford directs Helen Mirren in LOVE RANCH, a fictional story that draws on many truths about Nevada's extremely successful Brothel Industry. Mirren and Pesci play a husband/wife team who own and run one of Nevada's first legalized brothel ranches. Their lives are irrevocably altered when a world famous heavy weight boxer from South America comes to train at the Ranch. The word "LOVE" in the title is double edged: The sale of sex at the brothel is clearly a mechanical, meaningless love, but the romantic triangle that develops between the film's three main characters, all cynical professionals, is real and uncontrollable, erupting into passion and murder.
