Synopsis

In 1976, when ROCKY, a low-budget film with an unknown actor named Sylvester Stallone, won the Academy Award® for Best Picture, it was as emotional a finale as the film itself. A two-bit boxer gets a second chance in life by being offered an impossible shot at the heavyweight title. The story of how Rocky goes the distance is one of the warmest, most exciting, and stirring movies of all time.

"ROCKY is a glowing tribute to the human spirit . . . a wonderfully tender love affair. It’s the creation of a truly sensational new talent, Sylvester Stallone."
- NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

"ROCKY hits right on the button. A once-in-a-lifetime coming together of man and material. ROCKY got roaring, sustained ovations the likes of which I can't remember hearing at a movie before."
