About the film
Academy Award-winner Joaquin Phoenix dons the mantle of one of music’s most revered performers in the life-spanning drama about the one-and-only Johnny Cash. Delving into the major touchstones of Cash’s life, this film from James Mangold (Cop Land, A Complete Unknown) shows Cash’s evolution as a young boy of humble beginnings with a harsh father, to his early successes as a recording artist, to his fateful encounter with June Carter – the love of his life – and, ultimately to his rise to becoming one of the biggest superstars and pop culture icons in the history of music. Even with this major success, though, Johnny Cash has always found a way to keep his humanity, his spirituality, his love, and his talent from making him stray too far from walking the line, instead making music that makes sense to sensible people.
