Mike Tyson: Beyond the Glory
Mike Tyson becomes the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history at twenty, holding the WBC, WBA, and IBF titles at once, and this film traces the rise and the unraveling that followed. It moves from the fighting machine built under trainer Cus D'Amato's discipline through the 1992 conviction for raping Desiree Washington, a case that sent him to prison for three years. The money is part of the story too: Tyson earned roughly $300 million over his career, including individual purses above $30 million, and still filed for bankruptcy in 2003. The film closes out his ring career with the back-to-back knockout losses to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride that ended it in 2005. Told through archival fight footage and the public record of his convictions and finances, it lays out a career that peaked faster than almost anyone else's in the sport and collapsed just as fast, on points as concrete as titles won, years served, and money spent.
