A small-time Philadelphia boxer gets a supremely rare chance to fight the world heavyweight champion in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect.
“This film transcends the boxing genre, offering a poignant character study of an unlikely hero finding his voice and purpose. It crafts a compelling underdog narrative centered on personal growth and genuine human connection. The film's emotional depth and raw performances resonate long after the final bell.”
Anyone seeking a powerful character-driven drama about overcoming adversity and finding self-worth, even if they typically avoid sports films.
