Plot

In the enthralling documentary, The Backyard, step into a raw and unpredictable universe, where the gladiators are as varied as the weapons they wield. Among these fearless contenders are The Lizard, Chaos, Scar, Heartless, and Sic, each venturing into this realm of backyard wrestling with dreams as robust as their courage. Here, the environment is brutal, the stakes are high, and the tools of the trade are as commonplace as they are dangerous: light bulbs, fire, thumbtacks, barbed wire, mousetraps, staple guns, and shards of glass. This gripping narrative takes you on an undercover expedition, exploring this contentious domain where the boundaries of physical endurance are continually pushed to breaking point. Documenting the journey of several backyard wrestlers from around the globe, The Backyard reveals a world that thrives on the edge of society where the taste of glory is often seasoned with blood and pain. This is not a spectacle for the squeamish; it's a ruthless playground where homemade weapons meet human resilience, and the price of ambition is often a dance with danger. The Backyard is a compelling exploration of sacrifice and audacity, illuminating the shadows of an extreme world, where dreams are forged in the crucible of extraordinary courage and relentless determination.
