THE FIGHTER
The Story:
Exploring the remarkable rise of Massachusetts-born lightweight title winner "Irish" Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg). A determined pugilist whose career in the ring was shepherded by his loyal half-brother, Dicky (Christian Bale) a hard-living boxer-turned-trainer whose own career in the ring was nearly sent down for the count due to drugs and crime -- perennial underdog Irish Micky rebounded from a disheartening series of defeats to win both the WBU Intercontinental Lightweight title and the WBU Light Welterweight title thanks to a fierce combination of determination and hard work.
