Sex & Lies in Sin City (2008)
Biography | Crime | Drama | Mystery
A shockingly true tale of love gone sour and greed gone wild on the dark side of Las Vegas. Reckless casino executive Ted Binion had it all: money, power and a beautiful girlfriend, Sandy Murphy. That all changed when Sandy found him dead in his Las Vegas home in 1998, seemingly of an apparent drug overdose. But when Ted's estranged sister, Becky, informs police she believes Ted was murdered, a closer investigation reveals Binion's death was no accident at all. "Sex & Lies In Sin City" is the gritty portrayal of the investigation and trial of Murphy and her ex-con boyfriend who attempted to steal Binion's fortune by any means necessary. The film captures the unbelievably dark and twisted crimes – and subsequent shock – that swept through Las Vegas as the truth about Binion's last days became disturbingly clear.
