Tyson (1995)
Nacido en la pobreza en Brooklyn, Nueva York, Mike Tyson (Michael Jai White) ya había sido arrestado 38 veces a los 13 años. Era considerado como un joven sin futuro que entraba y salía de los reformatorios hasta que el legendario entrenador Cus D'Amato (George C. Scott) lo descubrió en un pequeño y lúgubre cuadrilátero. Bajo la protección y formación de D'Amato, Tyson pronto se convirtió en la estrella más popular del mundo del boxeo. Escaló posiciones para llevarse los premios más prestigiosos y codiciados en el deporte hasta llegar a ser Campeón del Mundo de Pesos Pesados. Su ascenso fue tan legendario como lo ha sido su caída. De una mansión multimillonaria a una pequeña celda, pasando por las relaciones turbulentas con su mujer Robin Given y su promotor Don King.
Directora: Uli Edel
