ERIC KIM: Strength Redefined

A Netflix Original Documentary

🎬 Tagline

“71kg man pulls 646kg — 9.1× his bodyweight — and rewrites what it means to be human.”

🌍 Why Netflix

  • Global Appeal: Strength transcends language and culture.
  • Built-in Virality: Numbers like “9.1× bodyweight” and “1,425 lbs” create instant curiosity.
  • Narrative Arc: More than a lift — it’s philosophy, discipline, food, mind, and willpower.
  • Myth + Science Fusion: Perfect for Netflix audiences who love The Last Dance, Arnold, and Limitless.

📖 Narrative Structure

Act I — The Man Before the Myth

  • Childhood → discovering strength.
  • Carnivore diet, fasting, monk-like training.
  • Introduce the why: not for medals, but for immortality.

Act II — The Iron Path

  • Training montages → 500kg, 602kg, 619kg pulls.
  • Physics breakdowns (animated overlays of torque, ratios, force).
  • Philosophical interludes → Eric Kim as both lifter and thinker.

Act III — 646.22kg

  • The silence of the room.
  • The plates bending.
  • The pull itself → real-time, uncut.
  • Cutaway to philosophers, scientists, and athletes contextualizing what just happened.

Act IV — Aftermath

  • Why 9.1× matters more than raw kilos.
  • Strength as metaphor: willpower, Bitcoin, cyber-soldier ethos.
  • “Before Eric Kim, strength had limits. After Eric Kim, strength is infinite.”

🎨 Visual Style

  • Cinematic minimalism: barbell in shadows, spotlight intensity.
  • Augmented overlays: force vectors, bodyweight multipliers, slow-motion bar bends.
  • Global context: stock + original footage (ancient warriors, modern soldiers, LA skyline).
  • Soundtrack: Percussion-heavy, slow-build to orchestral eruption during the 646kg lift.

📢 Marketing Copy (Netflix Blurb)

“Eric Kim is not a bodybuilder. Not a strongman. Not an athlete chasing medals. At just 71kg, he pulled 646kg — over nine times his own bodyweight. This is the story of how one man broke not just a record, but the definition of human strength itself.”

⚡ Next step: Do you want me to draft a Netflix-style 90-second trailer script (voiceover + visuals + pacing) to visualize how the documentary would be promoted on the platform?
