Walk the Line - 2-Disc DVD Collector's Edition RC1
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. As he pioneered a fiercely
original sound that blazed a trail for rock, country, punk, folk and rap stars to come, Cash began a roughand-tumble journey of personal transformation. In the most volatile period of his life, 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.
The story begins in Depression-era Arkansas, as the film traces the origins of Cash’s sound back to
his beginnings as a sharecropper’s son; moves through his wild tours with rock and roll pioneers Elvis
Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Waylon Jennings; and culminates in his
unforgettable 1968 concert in Folsom Prison.
The story of the young Johnny Cash and his incendiary love affair with June Carter Cash, comes to life in Walk The Line, directed by James Mangold (Heavy, Cop Land, Girl Interrupted, Identity) from a script by Mangold and Gill Dennis (Riders of the Purple Sage), based on Cash’s books Man in Black and Cash The Autobiography. The film is produced by Cathy Konrad (Citizen Ruth, Beautiful Girls, Scream,Cop Land, Girl Interrupted, Identity) and James Keach (The Stars Fell on Henrietta), and was developed for seven years with the close cooperation of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash before their deaths in 2003. Walk The Line stars Academy Award® and Golden Globe® nominee Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash and Golden Globe® nominee Reese Witherspoon as June Carter. Phoenix and Witherspoon sing every note of their roles themselves in live performances that capture the spirit of the music that drove Johnny and June’s relationship.
