Storyline

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.

Knievel's legacy, for better and worse, is more clearly tied to marketing and celebrity than to courage or integrity.

There was a real darkness there - behind the American flags and the fringed jackets and the fireworks - and Being Evel, to its credit, isn't afraid to face it.

It doesn't illuminate the guy's character beyond what's obvious. Nor does it bestow much depth upon Knievel.

Gravity won many of those battles, and death won the war, but the icon seems as relevant now as it was then.
