FILM DESCRIPTION: Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) has been champion for three years. He has defeated all challengers-ten of them to be exact! Rocky has been lionized by the world. His marriage to Adrian (Talia Shire) is thriving. His son is healthy and happy. And Rocky has become a little complacement. Not the right time for the next "comer" to appear-a vicious, very dangerous boxer named Clubber Lang (Mr. T). Rocky's manager, Mickey (Burgess Meredith), takes a look at this behemoth and advises Rocky to hang it up. Rocky falls under the pounding of the hungry challenger. This is the last blow for Mickey: he dies. Rocky realizes that he must find a new fighting style and turns to the ex-champ Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) for help. Rocky is transformed from a power boxer into a fleet footed master of the ring.
