On March 24, 1975, eighth ranked Chuck Wepner (Zach McGowan) from New Jersey fought Ali (Jerrod Paige) for the title. It would become an inspiration for "Rocky." Burt Young who was in "Rocky" is also in this film. This fight happens at about 30 minutes into the film. The rest of the film is about how Chuck messed up his life after he peaked, unable to capitalize on his fighting or fame anymore.
It was interesting in that I did not know the story. Not exactly a fight film. Just a biopic.
Guide: F-word. Brief sex, brief nudity (Taryn Manning)
