(1990) tells the story about a recently released psychiatric patient, Ricky (Antonio Banderas), who kidnaps a porn star, Marina (Abril), in order to make her fall in love with him.

Rather than populate the film with many characters, as in his previous films, here the story focuses on the compelling relationship at its center: the actress and her kidnapper literally struggling for power and desperate for love. The film's title line
Tie Me Up!
is unexpectedly uttered by the actress as a genuine request. She does not know if she will try to escape or not, and when she realizes she has feelings for her captor, she prefers not to be given a chance. In spite of some dark elements,
Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
can be described as a romantic comedy, and the director's most clear love story, with a plot similar to
William Wyler
's thriller
The Collector

Miramax
, who distributed the film in the US, filed a lawsuit against the MPAA over the X rating, but lost in court. However, in September 1990, the MPAA replaced the X rating with the
NC-17
rating. This was helpful to films of explicit nature, like
Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
, that were previously categorized with pornography because of the X rating
