I Am Rocky

“I Am Rocky” is a film about the making of the iconic “Rocky” and the journey of Sylvester Stallone. Before he became one of the biggest icons of world cinema, he was an unknown actor.

The story begins in New York in the mid-1970s. Stallone barely makes ends meet. He writes a screenplay about a boxer from a poor Philadelphia neighborhood and sees in it not only a chance for success but also a reflection of his own life. Yet no one believes he should play the lead. Producers offer him big money, but he turns down one offer after another and fights for the right to play the hero he created. He risks his career, his money, and his family's future.

The film is about determination, courage, and believing in yourself. These qualities led to a production that became a worldwide phenomenon, earning 10 Oscar nominations and winning 3 statuettes.
