The Conman who wouldn't go straight.

Steven Russell leads a seemingly average life – an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie, and a member of the local police force. That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he’s gay and he’s going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it. Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft-spoken man named Phillip Morris. His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another.

Germany German (Deutsch)

  • a.k.a. Ich liebe Dich Phillip Morris

Der unauffällige Geschäftsmann Steven Russell führt ein geregeltes Leben mit Frau, Kind, Haus und sonntäglichem Gesang im Kirchenchor. Bis ein Autounfall ihm zu einer profunden Erkenntnis verhilft: Er ist schwul. Fortan lässt er keine Party, kein exklusives Restaurant und keinen knackigen Kerl mehr aus. Das pralle Leben erweist sich als kostspielig, aber Steven beweist ungemein viel Phantasie in der regelmäßigen Beschaffung der notwendigen Finanzmittel. Natürlich geht das nicht lange gut und er landet im Knast. Dort lernt Steven seine große Liebe, den zurückhaltenden Phillip Morris, kennen. Und damit fangen die Probleme für Steven überhaupt erst so richtig an.

Colpo di fulmine - Il mago della truffa
  • a.k.a. Colpo di fulmine - Il mago della truffa

Steven Russell conduce una vita piuttosto ordinaria: è un agente di polizia, suona l'organo nella chiesa del paese, è felicemente sposato con Debbie. Fino a quando un grave incidente d'auto non gli fa aprire gli occhi: è gay e desidera vivere la sua vita al massimo, anche a costo di infrangere la legge. Iniziando a vivere la sua nuova vita stravagante, Steven non esiterà ad imbrogliare chiunque per sbarcare il lunario, e alla fine verrà spedito al Penitenziario di Stato dove incontrerà l'amore della sua vita, un uomo sensibile e dai modi gentili che si chiama Phillip Morris. La sua determinazione a far uscire Phillip di prigione e a costruire una vita perfetta insieme, lo spingeranno a tentare, con successo, un colpo impossibile dopo l'altro.
