Portrayed with vulnerability and conviction by Dwayne Johnson, mixed martial arts and UFC champion Mark Kerr, alongside his devoted partner Dawn (Emily Blunt), faces a defeat he's never been prepared for, as he battles his own demons and addiction.

The true story of this huge 90s sports personality subverts familiar conventions of the genre, with its realistic grit, documentary feel and honest directness, which is what you'd expect from Benny Safdie, here directing solo for the first time following his acclaimed work on Good Time and Uncut Gems alongside his brother.
