What it is

The true story of the making of Rocky, starring Anthony Ippolito, Matt Dillon and AnnaSophia Robb. Directed by Peter Farrelly, it runs 128 minutes and is certified 12A.

A struggling actor with a partially paralyzed face and a speech impediment writes a script that a big movie studio wants to buy.

He turns down an offer of life-changing money, refuses to sell unless he can play the lead, and works for pennies to get the movie made with himself in the starring role.

The movie becomes the biggest box office hit of 1976, with ten Oscar nominations and a Best Picture win.
