Christy

Directed by David Michôd
United States
2025
135 mins

Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney) never imagined life beyond her small-town roots in West Virginia – until she discovered a knack for knocking people out. Fueled by grit, raw determination, and an unshakable desire to win, she charges into the world of boxing under the guidance of her trainer and manager-turned-husband, Jim (Ben Foster).

But while Christy flaunts a fiery persona in the ring, her toughest battles unfold outside it: confronting family, identity, and a relationship that just might become life-or-death.

Featuring a career-best performance and stunning physical transformation from Sweeney – in a film based on remarkable true events that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival – Christy is an inspiring story about resilience, courage, and the fight to reclaim one’s life in the face of unimaginable challenges.
