About the film

Once he fought for a dream. Now he's fighting for love!

What it’s about

After losing on points in a title bout, Rocky Balboa wants a calm existence with his wife Adrian. The prize money slips away and ordinary jobs do not suit him. Meanwhile Apollo Creed, still stung by how close the first fight was, pushes for a rematch. Rocky must decide whether to risk his health and his marriage for one more chance.

What hooks you

Sylvester Stallone directs and stars, with Talia Shire as Adrian and Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed. The production drew on real boxing experience: a sparring partner was played by world champion Roberto Duran, and Stallone injured a chest muscle while training. Around 800 schoolchildren took part in the run through South Philadelphia.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys sports dramas where personal stakes outweigh the score, and for those who like stories about a fighter struggling to balance family duty with the pull of the ring.
