Michael J. Fox tells his extraordinary story in his own words — from being a kid who landed the lead on a Canadian TV series, to a Hollywood superstar in the 1980s with hits such as Back to the Future.
His public life, full of nostalgic thrills and cinematic gloss, will be told alongside his never-before-seen private journey, including his first glimpses of the possibility that he might have Parkinson's disease, to being diagnosed with it at age 29.
Intimate and honest, and produced with unprecedented access to Fox and his family, the film will chronicle Fox's personal and professional triumphs and travails, and will explore what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease. With a mix of adventure and romance, comedy and drama, watching the film will feel like... well, like a Michael J. Fox movie.
