A chronicle of country music legend Johnny Cash's life, from his early days to his rise to fame.
What an excellent movie. My wife and I are not great Johhny Cash fans but instead have an appreciation of his music, however, this was a well made insight into his life. Well acted by Phoenix and Witherspoon, they made the characters come to life. The film made interesting observations on Cash's inspiration for his songs and showed how quite often gifted people can have flaws in their character. Even if you have never listened to Cash's music I would recommend this will to you.

Drama following the life of the legendary 'Man in Black', Johnny Cash. The movie begins in 1955, when a tough, skinny guitar-slinger who called himself J.R. Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) walks into the soon-to-be-famous Sun Studios in Memphis. It was a moment that would have an indelible effect on American culture. With his driving freight-train chords, steel-eyed intensity and a voice as deep and black as night, Cash sang blistering songs of heartache and survival that were gutsy, full of real life and unlike anything heard before. That day kicked off the electrifying early career of Johnny Cash. As he pioneered a fiercely original sound that blazed a trail for rock, country, punk, folk and rap stars to come, Cash began a rough-and-tumble journey of personal transformation. In the most volatile period of his life, he evolved from a self-destructive pop star into the iconic 'Man in Black' - facing down his demons, fighting for the love that would save him time and again, and learning how to walk the razor-thin line between destruction and redemption. Reese Witherspoon won a Best Actress Academy Award for her role as June Carter, Cash's long-suffering wife.
