If you know anything about Johnny Cash, then I'm not giving away any plot points, here. The movie is the same basic story of all the other celebrity singers of the era. They all got hooked on drugs and alcohol which either did or nearly destroyed them and/or their careers. The best part of this story was that Johnny was saved by the love of a good woman. This wasn't so for Billie Holiday, Elvis, Janis Joplin, etc. At least this one has a happy ending. It's well acted and, if you like his music, worth seeing in the $1.50 shows.
