Rocky

Rocky Balboa, an amateur boxer who makes a living collecting debts for a loan shark on the less glamorous side of Philadelphia, gets the chance of a lifetime to fight world champion Apollo Creed. Training for the fight tests his resolve: to triumph and win the love of his life. Rocky is a cinematic legend - Stallone wrote the script himself and sold it only to producers who agreed that he would star in the lead role. The result was a huge hit that paid back the investment and launched Stallone to stardom. Even five decades later, Rocky is still a fun sports drama centered on a hero with a big heart.
