Mcenroe is an intimate portrait of one of the most explosive and compelling sporting icons of all time. John was an era defining talent, number one in the world in four consecutive years, but also a man prone to self destruction. It's this internal conflict that drove john to the very top, and very nearly broke him too.mcenroe features completely unseen film archive from some of the biggest matches in tennis history – including the us open and wimbledon as well as home video footage from john himself. Contributions from john's children and his wife patty smyth provide a level of intimacy that takes the film beyond a mere sports biopic and into the realms of something deeply personal and confessional. Featuring icons such as billie jean king, bjorn borg and keith richards, the film brings to life a golden age of tennis and the 80's excess of john's hometown new york city.
