No-holds-barred of Anna Mae Bullock's journey from humble beginnings in a church choir to the status of world-famous singer Tina Turner.

Initially dominated by her violent relationship with Ike Turner, Tina's ultimate triumph over adversity allowed her to become a star in her own right as she freed herself from her tyrannical husband.

Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne both received Oscar nominations for their roles as the famous couple.
