Rocky

Directed by John G. Avildsen

With Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers and Burgess Meredith

Rocky Balboa is a Philadelphia club fighter who seems to be going nowhere. But when a stroke of fate puts him in the ring with a world heavyweight champion, Rocky knows that it's his one shot at the big time — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go the distance and come out a winner!
