Tyson (2008)

Overview · Where to watch · Cast & crew · Reviews

The man. The legend. The truth.

Director James Toback takes an unflinching, uncompromising look at the life of Mike Tyson--almost solely from the perspective of the man himself. TYSON alternates between the controversial boxer addressing the camera and shots of the champion's fights to create an arresting picture of the man.
