Fresh on the heels of his At Folsom Prison album, Johnny Cash (pictured) displays the dark intensity and raw talent that made him a country music star and cultural icon.

Director Robert Elfstrom got closer than any other filmmaker to Cash, who is seen performing with his new bride, June Carter Cash; in a rare duet with Bob Dylan; and behind the scenes with friends, family and aspiring young musicians.
