About

A poor Philadelphia club boxer gets an unlikely title shot when the heavyweight champion picks him as a late replacement.

Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is a small-time club boxer in Philadelphia who lives in poverty and earns money collecting debts for a loan shark. The heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), wants to stage a title fight in the city around the American Bicentennial. When his planned opponent, Mac Lee Green, cannot fight because of an injured hand, Creed looks for a local replacement. He picks Rocky, partly because the nickname 'The Italian Stallion' suits his promotional plans. Rocky meets promoter George Jergens (Thayer David) and accepts the bout, which offers him $150,000. The cast also includes Talia Shire as Adrian Pennino, Burt Young as Paulie Pennino and Burgess Meredith as Mickey Goldmill.
