From inner-city housing projects to the biggest stages in boxing, this insightful and provocative documentary charts the lives of some of America’s heaviest hitters – Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Bernard Hopkins – as they seek to break out of poverty via one of the few outlets available. Director Bert Marcus skilfully weaves their personal histories and gripping footage from their biggest bouts to explore the meaning of the American dream in a society increasingly fragmented between rich and poor.

Even though I have never boxed in my life - even though a person should say this on their deathbed - boxing still somehow attracts me. It contains powerful stories, which we constantly see in movies. Even though this is mainly the story of Tyson and Holyfield, it doesn't matter at all, because those two definitely have something to talk about. Moreover, it at least tries to show that something can be achieved. Not only that you will earn money that you will not even know where to spend.
