Sex Tax: Based on a True Story (2010)

In "Sex Tax: Based on a True Story," the tantalizing world of Nevada's infamous brothels meets the orderly universe of the Internal Revenue Service. This unique concoction is stirred by an unexpected hero, Steven Billings, an IRS auditor entrusted with examining the financial affairs of the Hen House Ranch, Nevada's legal brothel. Inspired by the real-life 1999 takeover of the Mustang Ranch Brothel by the IRS, this provocative narrative explores a moment when the United States Government held the keys to a house of pleasure. Billings, a man fervently committed to the pursuit of truth and justice, quickly finds himself treading on thin ice, surrounded by a motley crew of eccentric prostitutes, corrupt congressmen, unscrupulous business tycoons, and menacing gangsters. His mission, once a serene trail, morphs into a labyrinth, littered with chaos, crime, and a confounding number of condoms. The narrative also grapples with the stark disparities of America's bail-out policy. Amid a backdrop of government aid to enormous corporations and banking institutions, the plight of the average American is highlighted. The film raises a provocative question: if the sharks in the economic ocean can be rescued, why can't a struggling brothel receive the same lifeline?

Sex Tax: Based on a True Story is a comedy movie featuring John Livingston and directed by John Borges.
