Synopsis of Rocky
Rocky is the tale of a Philadelphia lone-shark's collector whose passion has always been boxing.
But at the time the movie begins, Rocky is thirty years old and is a self-described "bum."
As the movie progresses, Rocky, our sentimental underdog, improves himself through training, gaining strength both physically and psychologically for his big fight against Apollo.
In one of the most moving sequences in movie history, Rocky goes the distance with Creed, winning the respect and admiration of the crowd both in the boxing arena in the film and in movie theatres. Although Creed wins by split decision, Rocky is revered for his heart and determination against insurmountable odds.
