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.

Such a great story, very well told. Phoenix and Witherspoon do such justice to the characters and the director, James Mangold, gives them the opportunity to really shine and show their chemistry.
The blu-ray comes packed with quite a few special features.
