The Oscar®-winning WALK THE LINE chronicles the life of Johnny Cash, who had to move past raw anger, the ravages of addiction, and the temptations of stardom to discover the voice that would make him a hero to generations.

In 1955, a tough, skinny guitar-slinger who called himself J.R. Cash walked 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. Cash began a journey of personal transformation. He evolved from a self-destructive pop star into the iconic “Man in Black” — facing down his demons, fighting for the love that would raise him up, and learning how to walk the razor-thin line between destruction and redemption.
