Meat Market (film)

Meat Market is a television film released in two parts in 1980, also known as Meat Market: An American Brothel. The film explores the exploitative conditions within a high-class brothel in the United States.

Directed by Walter Grauman, Meat Market stars Lee Majors, Morgan Fairchild, and Pia Zadora. The narrative centers on a former detective (Majors) investigating the disappearance of a young woman who was working at the brothel. Fairchild plays a prominent madam who oversees the establishment, and Zadora portrays one of the sex workers.

The film delves into themes of prostitution, organized crime, and police corruption. Meat Market was presented as a gritty portrayal of the sex industry, aiming to expose the darker aspects of the business. Due to its subject matter, the film generated some controversy upon its release. The two parts were initially broadcast on television and were later sometimes combined and released as a single film.
