Historical
Based on and Extraordinary True Story Inspired by the life of legendary athlete Jim Braddock, a
once-promising light-heavyweight boxer forced into
retirement after a string of losses. As the nation enters
the Great Depression, Braddock works any job he can get to
support his family, until a twist of fate puts him back in
the ring against the second-ranked world contender. To
everyone's amazement, he wins. Despite repeated injuries
and
being pounds lighter than his opponents, Braddock continues
to win. Carrying the hopes and dreams of a disenfranchised
nation on his shoulders, Braddock, dubbed the "Cinderella
Man," must ultimately face Max Baer, the heavyweight
champion of the world, renowned for killing two men in the
ring. It's a decision that nearly destroys him, but in the end,
it's a fight he has to take -- for everyone...
