Come for the all-star cast (Jennifer Lopez, Michael Peña, Don Cheadle), stay for the true-life inspiration that will remain with you long after the house lights come up—and quite possibly forever change the way you view what is and is not possible.
Born without a right leg, Anthony Robles (portrayed here by Moonlight and When They See Us breakout star Jharrel Jerome) may have at first been an unlikely candidate for a future winner of an NCAA wrestling championship to everyone except the one who mattered most: himself.
Based on Robles’ 2012 memoir, this film from the team behind 2023’s Air deftly interweaves heartfelt family drama and rousing mat-centered sports action. It champions the potential outsized benefits of both accessibility and positive mental attitude.
