Storyline
A drama inspired by the life of heavyweight boxer Chuck Wepner, who had a once-in-a-lifetime bout with Muhammad Ali that would inspire the film Rocky (1976).
Review
6.8
“Liev Schreiber delivers a compelling performance as Chuck Wepner, the boxer who inspired Rocky, navigating his post-Ali fight fame with a mix of charm and self-destruction. The film excels in its period detail and strong supporting cast, though its narrative struggles to maintain momentum after Wepner's iconic boxing match.”
