The movie tells the powerful true story of Anthony Robles (played by Jharrel Jerome), a young man born with one leg who channels an unwavering spirit and relentless determination to overcome extraordinary challenges. With the steadfast support of his mother, Judy (Jennifer Lopez), and the guidance of dedicated coaches, Anthony relentlessly pursues his passion for wrestling. His journey is marked by intense physical and mental trials as he battles through adversity to secure a place on the Arizona State Wrestling team, setting his sights on becoming an NCAA Champion. This film celebrates resilience, love, and the strength required to pursue one’s dreams against all odds.
“When people look at me, the first thing they see is what’s missing. If I win, having one leg won’t be the most important thing about me.” Anthony Robles is heard saying in the trailer.
Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Benjamin Barrett, Don Cheadle, and Shawn Hatosy also star in the movie.
The song playing in the trailer is “Entrapment” by Elephant Music, from the album Piano Works, Vol. 7.
