The Fighter
Every dream deserves a fighting chance.
Directed by David O. Russell
Produced by The Weinstein Company, Relativity Media
A gritty yet ultimately redemptive sports biography about family bonds, personal struggle, and the pursuit of dreams against working-class odds.
Boxer "Irish" Micky Ward's unlikely road to the world light welterweight title. His Rocky-like rise was shepherded by half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded in life after nearly being KO'd by drugs and crime.
