Rocky (1976) is a motion picture written by and starring Sylvester Stallone as underdog boxer, Rocky Balboa. It tells the rags-to-riches American Dream story of "Rocky Balboa", a slightly dull-witted but good-hearted "collection agent" for a loan shark in Philadelphia with a penchant for boxing who gets a shot at the world heavyweight title. It was written by Stallone and directed by John G. Avildsen. The fighting scene in the movie was inspired by a real-life fight between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner.
Rocky Balboa is a dead-end, "bottom of the barrel" guy from Philadelphia who is going nowhere in life. He works days as an enforcer for a loan shark and as a boxer at night. With the nation's bicentennial coming up, and scheduled contender Mac Lee Green injured, the undefeated heavyweight champion Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) searches for a new opponent for the match on the nation's birthday. With all the deserving competitors unavailable for one reason or another, Creed comes up with the perfect bout: he will fight the local underdog "Italian Stallion" Rocky, and by doing so give him a chance at the world title.
