128 minsOverview
The 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.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A portrait of unwavering self-belief against systemic rejection, watching Stallone refuse to compromise his vision of himself, even when the entire industry says no. It's as much about the act of fighting for creative ownership as it is about boxing.
