Thirty years ago, Rocky became the Academy-award winning movie of 1976. Now, Rocky's back in the 21st Century and the final bell is about to ring! Writer/director Sylvester Stallone returns to the character that launched his career and became a cultural icon around the world in Rocky Balboa on June 26, at 9pm on Showmovies 1.
Glory has come and gone for Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), the one-time Italian Stallion, who spends his evenings telling old stories to the patrons of his restaurant, Adrian's, named after his late wife, whom he quietly mourns.
Mason 'The Line' Dixon is the reigning heavyweight champion distinguished only by the ease with which he took the title. Since he has never had to prove himself, never faced a truly equal opponent, he is considered by fans to be all skill and no heart, with no real future in the sport... until a computer stimulation matches him against Rocky Balboa in his prime.
Who really would win if the two were evenly matched - Dixon's skilful jabs and footwork versus Rocky's passion and blunt force trauma? Now Rocky must push himself to breaking point to go the distance one last time.
