"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash," was the humble, friendly greeting that opened the concerts of country music's legendary Man in Black. This pioneering outlaw turned Nashville upside down, blurring the lines between blues, folk, gospel, rockabilly and country. Developed over seven years with the cooperation of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, WALK THE LINE tells the true story of Cash's meteoric rise to fame when rock and roll exploded from a tiny studio in Memphis, Tennessee, to his historic concert at Folsom Prison. The film also focuses on one of rock and roll's greatest love stories, Cash's passionate relationship with Carter and how this love saved him from destruction. Working with the extraordinary talents of actors Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter, director James Mangold not only celebrates a legend, but also captures the spark and eventual fire of one of America's greatest true-life love stories. |
