E most distinctive heroes often battle physical limits, ethical controversies and personal setbacks in order to achieve their unique goals. James Webb, Australia’s top-ranked competitive eater, is doing just that in the new trailer and poster for the upcoming documentary, ‘James Can Eat.’
The movie will become available on VOD and begin streaming exclusively on Prime Video on Friday, August 22. In honor of the film’s upcoming premiere, its official trailer and poster have been released.

‘James Can Eat’ follows the extraordinary rise of the titular competitive eater. Webb is Australia’s top-ranked competitive eater and the fourth in the world, as he battles physical limits, personal setbacks and global rivals in his quest to dethrone Chestnut, who’s the world’s most famous eating icon. From smashing records like devouring almost 60 donuts in a sitting to recovering from a near-paralyzing illness, Webb’s journey unfolds through raw, intimate moments with his family, reflections on his abandoned soccer career and his viral leap into fame.
The movie delves into the grueling training, health consequences, and ethical controversies of the sport, culminating in a dramatic showdown at the Nathan’s Hotdog Eating Contest, where chaos threatens to derail everything. At its core, ‘James Can Eat’ is a story of resilience, obsession, and the human drive to be the best, no matter the cost.
