A lifetime of taking shots has ended Rocky’s career, and a crooked accountant has left him broke. Inspired by the memory of his trainer, however, Rocky finds glory in training and takes on an up-and-coming boxer.
Editor's Verdict
"Rocky V's primary plot revolves around Rocky's comeback training against a younger boxer after financial ruin. While it was released during the holiday season (a common time for major film releases), there is no indication that the setting, plot, iconography, or themes are intrinsically tied to Christmas in any meaningful way according to the standard criteria."
