Diego Maradona, the third film from the Academy Award® and BAFTA Award-winning team behind SENNA and AMY, and producer Paul Martin, is crafted from over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage drawn, with his full support, from Maradona's personal archive.
On July 5, 1984, Diego Maradona arrived in Naples for a world-record fee. And for the next seven years, he unleashed hell. The world's most famous football icon and one of Europe's most passionate and dangerous cities formed a perfect match. On the pitch, Diego Maradona was a genius. Off the pitch, he was treated like a god. The charismatic Argentine loved to defy the odds, and it was thanks to him that Napoli won their first-ever Scudetto. It seemed like a dream. But there was a price to pay… Diego could do whatever he pleased while performing miracles on the pitch; however, as time went on, things began to change.
