American Gigolo

Julian Kay is a male escort living a luxurious life in Los Angeles, catering to wealthy and older women. When he starts a relationship with Michelle Stratton, a politician's wife, he becomes the prime suspect in a murder case. Julian discovers evidence that suggests he's being framed and becomes desperate to clear his name. He confronts his pimp Leon, who refuses to help him, and in a fit of rage, Julian pushes Leon from a balcony, leading to his death. With no one to help him, Julian ends up in jail awaiting trial for murder. Michelle ultimately sacrifices her reputation and marriage to save Julian by telling the police she was with him the night of the murder.
