Being Evel

Watch Trailer
2015 · 100 min Documentary
6.6 / 10 · TMDB

In the history of sports, few names are more recognizable than that of Evel Knievel. Long after the man hung up his famous white leather jumpsuit and rode his Harley into the sunset, his name is still synonymous with the death-defying lifestyle he led. Notoriously brash, bold, and daring, Knievel stared death in the face from the seat of his motorcycle, but few know the larger-than-life story of the boy from Butte, Montana.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Daniel Junge constructs a compelling portrait, relying on breathtaking archival stunt footage and candid interviews with family, friends, and Knievel himself. The film explores the fragile line between the heroic myth and the vulnerable man behind it, between the thirst for glory and its corrosive price.

What lingers after the final frame is a potent mix of awe and melancholy for a bygone era of spectacle. Those who tire of sanitized biographies will find raw, unfiltered ambition here. — MovieFinder Editorial
