Number One in the world in four consecutive years, John McEnroe’s epic battles with Bjorn Borg helped define the golden era of tennis, yet huge controversy on and off the court betrayed an inner conflict. This compassionate portrait of one of the most explosive and compelling sporting icons of all time features completely unseen archive footage from some of the biggest matches in tennis. Home video footage from John himself, as well as contributions from John's wife and children, provide a level of intimacy that takes the film beyond a sports biopic and into the realms of something deeply confessional.
