This documentary follows the life and career of
Kurt Russell, from his early acting career, to baseball star, and back to Hollywood. Russell was a child star, appearing on television in
Dennis the Menace and other programs. His skill as a baseball player almost led to the big leagues. An injury thwarted his goal, and he turned again to acting. Archival film footage shows Russell in some of his best roles in films such as
Silkwood and
Backdraft. Interviews with family, friends, and acting and baseball colleagues add insight into the nature of Hollywood's heavy hitter. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
