From portraying Spaghetti Western cowboys and hard-boiled cops to becoming one of Hollywood’s greatest directors, Clint Eastwood has become an enduring cinema icon throughout a 70-year career. "Clint Eastwood: The Last Legend," is a portrait of a creative talent still active in his 90s, both in front of and behind the camera.
The documentary explores the complexity of the Eastwood myth through iconic films including from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," "Million Dollar Baby," "Mystic River," and "Gran Torino." His longevity and impact in both film, television and the celebrity in both the 20th and 21st century is palpable in his roles as a TV star, international film star, controversial icon, contested director, and a filmmaker with a capital F.
