A spirited, colorful biographical comedy-drama about an Irish-American boxer's rise to fame in the 1890s, driven by charm, innovation, and period spectacle.

As bare-knuckled boxing enters the modern era, brash extrovert Jim Corbett uses new rules and dazzlingly innovative footwork to rise to the top of the boxing world.
