Johnny Cash: The Man in Black documents the career and life of the revered country-music performer. The film touches upon his boyhood and the sad death of his brother, comments upon his time in the military, and spends a good deal of time discussing how he rose to international fame on the strength of such legendary songs as Folsom Prison Blues," "Walk the Line," and "Ring of Fire." The film mixes archival footage alongside interviews with Cash's family members and contemporaries.
