After racing through theatres across North America, Australia, and New Zealand on over 650 screens, “Pay Dirt: The Story of Supercross” officially landed on all major global streaming platforms 18th July 2025. The groundbreaking feature documentary—narrated by Oscar-nominee Josh Brolin—is now available to rent or purchase, offering fans everywhere the chance to dive into one of the wildest and most dramatic tales in motorsports history.
Directed by Paul Taublieb, a two-time Emmy winner and the producer behind the $200 million box office hit The Vow, this high-octane documentary from Monkey Wrench Films tells the extraordinary and controversial story of Supercross, from its inception in 1972 to its global popularity today. But “Pay Dirt” doesn’t just focus on speed and spectacle—it unearths the dark origins of the sport, spotlighting Michael Goodwin, the man who created Supercross and is now serving a double-life sentence for the murder of his former business partner, motorsport icon Mickey Thompson, and Thompson’s wife.
The film received a star-studded world premiere in January 2025 at the Anaheim Opener of the SMX World Championship Series. Since then, it has captivated audiences with its mix of murder, mystery, and motorsport adrenaline, earning praise for its unfiltered storytelling and visual intensity.
“I don’t like when movies try and dictate how you should feel. This movie is not preachy at all. It’s not telling you how to feel. It just is what it is, and I think people really respond to honesty.”
said narrator Josh Brolin
“Pay Dirt: The Story of Supercross” offers a cinematic deep dive into a sport often overlooked, but fiercely loved by its fans. Featuring never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with Supercross legends like Jeremy McGrath, Bob Hannah, Ricky Johnson, and Ricky Carmichael, the film highlights the sport’s highs, its gritty realities, and its human cost.
Also featured is Jimmy Button, a racing star whose near-fatal injury led to the creation of Road 2 Recovery, a non-profit supporting injured action sports athletes. Proceeds from the film support the foundation, reinforcing the film’s message of resilience and redemption.
With stunning visuals, real-world drama, and an unforgettable story, “Pay Dirt” is more than a sports documentary—it’s a raw, unflinching look at the extremes people are willing to go for passion, fame, and glory.
