In the small blue-collar town of Brockton, Massachusetts, young Rocky Marciano (Favreau) turns to the ring as his ticket out. Training twice as hard and twice as long as anyone else, he pounds his way to victory and his reputation quickly spreads as "the guy to beat." But behind the gloves Rocky is unhappy with his gift and he's thinking of retiring. So, with the fate of his career hanging in the balance, he finds a way to unleash his thunder again - this time against his biggest hero - Joe Louis! (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

Rocky Marciano (1923-1969) was the son of Italian immigrants, shaped by the legendary boxing match between Louis and Schmeling in 1938. He became the 11th heavyweight boxing world champion shortly after defeating his childhood hero Louis and subsequently Joe Walcott. This film is great because it's not just about the classic formula of a poor kid becoming a champion; it tells the whole story of frustration from poverty, respect in a brutal sport where life was at stake even then, and most importantly, it portrays the fates of boxers who didn't fare well in their old age. Joe Louis had to step back after years of glory and returned to being just a poor black man; lightweight champion Lou Ambers also didn't end up well. Jon Favreau surprisingly delivers a great performance in the lead role. Moreover, thanks to him, it's confirmed how closely the stories of classic boxers and comic book superheroes resonate with each other.
