What it is

The film is an electrifying true story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he wasn’t just meant to write Rocky—he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Told “no” at every turn, Sylvester Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds.

The result is the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.

Directed by Peter Farrelly

Starring Anthony Ippolito, Matt Dillon, AnnaSophia Robb
