Rocky
His whole life was a million-to-one shot.
Directed by John G. Avildsen
Produced by Winkler Films
An earnest, emotionally resonant underdog story about a working-class boxer's unlikely shot at redemption through determination, love, and self-belief.
Rocky Balboa is a Philadelphia club fighter who seems to be going nowhere. But when a stroke of fate puts him in the ring with a world heavyweight champion, Rocky knows that it's his one shot at the big time — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go the distance and come out a winner!
