For the first time in history, and in his own words, the once unstoppable, heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson takes you deep into the gritty world of crime, drug addiction and violence he once inhabited. Labelled a "monster" by the media, you'll witness Tyson fighting for his reputation and his very life while imprisoned for rape, tearing the ear of Evander Holyfield with his bare teeth and tasting painful defeat at the hands of Britain's Lennox Lewis.

Trailer
For the first time in history, and in his own words, the once unstoppable, heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson tells his story.-
Mr. Toback’s film, partly because it restricts itself to Mr. Tyson’s point of view, offers a rare and vivid study in the complexity of a single suffering, raging soul.
A.O.Scott, The New York Times -
It’s testament to James Toback’s documentary, then, that in 90 minutes it transforms him from monster to human being, albeit flawed and wracked with demons.
Damon Wise, Empire Magazine -
Although straightforward in format, the film capitalizes on an obviously intense connection between filmmaker and subject with psychological acuity and emotional power.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
