A Date with Darkness: The Trial and Capture of Andrew Luster

A Date with Darkness: The Trial and Capture of Andrew Luster is a 2003 American made-for-television drama film based on a true story about criminal Andrew Luster.

On July 14, 2000, in Ventura County, California, young Connie is raped by the Max Factor heir Andrew Luster after ingesting a drug called Liquid X in a glass of water offered by him in a nightclub.

With the support of her father, she reluctantly decides to go to the police and gives them snapshots of the occurrence.

The movie started shooting while Luster was still on the run, and was originally supposed to end with a plea for information regarding his whereabouts.

However, while the film was in production, he was captured in Mexico by Duane "Dog" Chapman and returned to the country to serve an effective life sentence of 104 to 124 years.
