An intimate portrait of one of the most explosive and compelling sporting icons of all time.A supernova in the world of tennis, as awe-inspiring as he could be explosive, John McEnroe’s combined 155 championship titles still ranks as the highest achievement in the Men’s Open era. But as Barney Douglas’s film shows, this is just one facet of the sport legend’s storied life. McEnroe features previously unseen footage, both from his games and his personal archive. It explores the demons that drove him, while colleagues and friends such as Billie Jean King, Bjorn Borg and Keith Richards, along with McEnroe’s wife Patty Smyth and their children, offer an intimate portrait of a singular, incendiary individual.
如果一个有黑手党背景、专做垃圾生意的大亨买了一支小联盟曲棍球队，并让他 17 岁的儿子负责，会发生什么？咆哮、斗殴、瘀伤、发狂······他们一度走红，却最终被美国联邦调查局重创。2004 年，吉米·加兰特在康涅狄格州丹伯里市创建了 UHL 冰球队“Trashers”，并让他痴迷于《野鸭变凤凰》的年少儿子 A.J. 担任总经理。（如果你觉得托尼和 A.J 听起来很耳熟，那是因为《黑道家族》就是以加兰特和他的家人为原型。）A.J. 想要创造一个将职业摔跤和《野鸭变凤凰》进行完美融合的组合 — “一个我最喜欢的英雄和恶棍的组合。”结果，这支不合群的球队凭借粗暴的赛场表现和破纪录的罚球时间，吸引了大批忠实的球迷（包括一些名人），ESPN 也对其进行了报道。但后来，美国联邦调查局对 Trashers 和吉米·加兰特亮出了红牌。
