"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 Tyson's 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.
:plot:
Mike Tyson narrates his life story as a reaction to fear and as a resolution
not to be bullied or humiliated as he was when a boy in Brooklyn's mean streets.
He starts boxing while at a state detention center; his coach there sends him to
Cus D'Amato who becomes trainer, father figure, and confidence builder.
Tyson wins a series of championships and, for six years,
is unbeatable. A failed marriage, a felony conviction, and lack of training lead to his fall.
We see later losing fights and archive footage of other incidents in his life.
Tyson concludes by speaking philosophically about being a father and trying to be a better person.
