His whole life was a million-to-one shot. A Philadelphia fighter who never made the big time… he showed he could take on a challenge… and won something bigger than a championship bout. Legendarily holding onto the sale of his script until he was allowed to play the lead, Sylvester Stallone shines in his signature role as the underdog southpaw who gives it all he’s got when given the once-in-a-lifetime chance to face off against the world heavyweight champion. Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, and Burgess Meredith co-star.
