When he loses a highly publicized virtual boxing match to ex-champ Rocky Balboa, reigning heavyweight titleholder Mason Dixon retaliates by challenging the Italian Stallion to a 10-round exhibition bout. To the surprise of his son and friends, Rocky agrees to come out of retirement and face an opponent who's faster, stronger and thirty years his junior. Rocky takes on Dixon in what will become the greatest fight in boxing history!
Editor's Verdict
"Despite a 'Holiday Release,' the film 'Rocky Balboa' is a sports drama entirely focused on boxing and personal redemption. There are no meaningful connections to the Christmas setting, plot, themes, or iconography."
