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.

I Love You Phillip Morris is a 2010 comedy-drama about Steven Russell, a police officer and church organist who comes out as gay after a car accident and embarks on an audacious life of crime to fund his extravagant lifestyle. After meeting Phillip Morris in prison, Steven launches an extraordinary series of cons to free him and build a life together. The film blends humor, romance, and criminal escapades into a true-story-inspired tale of devotion and deception.
