The People vs. Larry Flynt is a 1996 film directed by Miloš Forman about the rise of pornographic magazine publisher and editor Larry Flynt, and his subsequent clash with the law. The film stars Woody Harrelson, Courtney Love and Edward Norton.

The movie was written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. It covered a specific time period in Flynt's life (from his humble beginnings, to the culmination of a series of court cases), and is based in part on the U.S. Supreme Court case Hustler Magazine v. Falwell.
