Questions About This Episode

What is Rocky (1976) John Avildsen about?

The film tells the tale of Rocky Balboa (Sylverster Stallone), a washed-up Philadelphia boxer who just barely scrapes by, fighting in small clubs for meager pay, while supplementing his income as a thuggish debt collector for a local loan shark. He doesn’t have many ambitions; his only real goal is to get to go out with the shy, mousy pet store clerk named Adrian (Talia Shire ), sister to his friend Paulie (Burt Young), Opportunity comes knocking in a big way for Balboa when the world heavyweight champ, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers ), wants to fight a “snow white” nobody for the nation’s bicentennial. Rocky agrees and becomes a local celebrity, but with less than five weeks to train, this washed-up fighter has to have the strength, agility, and most of all, heart to have a chance with Creed without embarrassing himself in front of millions.
