Walk the Line
James Mangold's Walk the Line tells the life story of country music legend Johnny Cash, focusing primarily on the long courtship he had with June Carter. The film is structured as an extended flashback opening with Cash readying to take the stage at his historic Folsom Prison Concert. The film touches on his childhood, relating a horrific early incident from his life and establishing the troubled relationship he would have with his father. Cash joins the military and leaves home. During his time in the armed services he begins writing songs and romances a hometown girl. After the end of his duty he settles down and attempts to begin a music career, but his wife has trouble adjusting to his dreams. Cash auditions for Sam Phillips, signs to Sun Records, and soon finds himself on tour with a roster of young soon-to-be legends that includes Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis. On tour he meets the already famous and beautiful June Carter... The film is based on Cash's autobiographies.
