The Tale of ANDRE THE GIANT Debuts on HBO Tuesday, April 10

HBO Sports and WWE (NYSE: WWE) present a JMH FILMS production in association with Ringer Films when ANDRE THE GIANT, a documentary examining the life and career of one of the most beloved legends in WWE history, premieres TUESDAY, APRIL 10 (10:00-11:25 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.

The film will also be available on HBO On Demand, HBO NOW, HBO GO and partners' streaming services.

HBO Sports and WWE are partnering for the first time ever on the feature-length presentation, which combines never-before-seen footage and revealing interviews for a comprehensive and intimate portrait of one of this largely unknown figure. The wide-ranging documentary explores Andre's upbringing in France, his celebrated career in WWE and forays in the entertainment world, and includes interviews with Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Billy Crystal, Rob Reiner, family members and more.

In 1973, Andre joined the organization, where McMahon Sr. famously billed him as Andre the Giant. Andre's unique voice and athletic prowess, coupled with his more than 500-pound, seven-foot, four-inch frame, made him an unforgettable attraction.
