Tyson is acclaimed indie director James Toback's stylistically inventive
portrait of a mesmerizing Mike Tyson. Toback allows Tyson to reveal himself
without inhibition and with eloquence and a pervasive vulnerability. Through
a mixture of original interviews and archival footage and photographs, a
startlingly complex, fully-rounded human being emerges. The film ranges
from Tysons earliest memories of growing up on the mean streets of Brooklyn
through his entry into the world of boxing, to his rollercoaster ride in the
funhouse of worldwide fame and fortunes won and lost. It is the story of a
legendary and uniquely controversial international athletic icon, a figure
conjuring radical questions of race and class. In its depiction of a man rising
from the most debased circumstances to unlimited heights, destroyed by his
own hubris, TYSON emerges as a modern day version of classic Greek
tragedy.
Mike is the most frank and honest fighter ever

He is truly a dynamic person. I like Mike, he tells it like it is and he wants to improve himself. What else can you ask from a man?
