Synopsis

Armed with a highly credible heart-wrenching story, Sylvester Stallone leaps back in the ring with a champ in this “triumphant final chapter for one of the most iconic characters in the history of motion pictures” (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun Times).

Since retiring, Rocky Balboa enjoys reminiscing about his glory days for the locals at his Philly diner, Adrian’s. However his quiet world is suddenly rocked when the current world champion Mason ‘The line’ Dixon (Antonio Tarver) – throws down a challenge to the out to pasture stallion after a computer simulated match hails an in-his-prime Rocky victorious over him.

Not one to back down, Rocky commits to the unthinkable - he agrees to the fight of his life and pushes himself to the breaking point to go the distance one last time.
