A legendary boxing movie from 1976, directed by John G. Avildsen (The Karate Kid) and written by Sylvester Stallone. Stallone sold his script for very little money, on the condition that he be allowed to play the lead role.

Rocky tells the story of Rocky Balboa, a third-rate boxer who gets the chance to prove himself in a match against the reigning heavyweight champion. The film went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of the year and launched Stallone’s career.
