Plot

In the gritty underbelly of Brooklyn, a young boy named Mike Tyson confronts fear, refusing to be tormented or debased as he was in his youth. His life, narrated by himself, unfolds as a testament of resilience. The tumultuous journey begins in a state detention center where Tyson discovers his aptitude for boxing. His talent is nurtured by Cus D'Amato, who evolves from a mere coach into a father figure and a wellspring of confidence. Tyson's life transforms into a series of triumphant victories as he bags numerous championships, reigning supreme in the boxing world for six years. However, the dazzling allure of success masks a brewing tempest. A crumbling marriage, an impending felony conviction, and dwindling commitment to training lay the foundation for his downfall. The film portrays Tyson's later life, including lost fights and archived events, painting a vivid picture of a promising career tinged with adversity. The story culminates with Tyson's introspective musings on fatherhood and his quest to be a better person. 'Tyson' is a poignant exploration of the man behind the gloves, a chronicle of relentless struggle, fleeting glory, and the pursuit of redemption.
