Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows

The story of a man who believes in heroes, in a world where the anti-hero is king.

A documentary portrait of a principled athlete betrayed by the industry he helped build, exploring themes of loyalty, disillusionment, and the collision between idealism and ruthless business.

This documentary follows superstar Bret Hart during his last year in the WWF. The film documents the tensions that resulted in The Montreal Screwjob, one of the most controversial events in the history of professional wrestling, in which Vince McMahon, Shawn Micheals, and others, legitimately conspired behind the scenes to go against the script and remove Bret Hart as champion.
