History’s most controversial boxer reveals every facet of his violent sporting career in James Toback’s documentary film Tyson.
From his early days as a hood to heavyweight champion of the world and jail-time in between, you’ll find that Mike Tyson is just another human. The film lands heavy punches with its classic quotes, revealing footage and in-depth look at Tyson’s personality.
You’ll see the boxer at his very best and worst as he talks about his children, kicks off in front of cameras and brands promoter Don King as a ‘reptilian motherf***r ‘ and – most surprising of all – his tearful reminiscence of his mentor and trainer Cus D’Amato.
Tyson drops his guard and allows Toback to tell a story that covers every angle of the fight. With unforgettable events, priceless gaffes, superb production and some of the most brutal matches of the 20th century, Tyson scores a knockout blow.
