Description

Russell Crowe stars in this biographical drama directed by Ron Howard. James J. Braddock (Crowe), dubbed 'The Cinderella Man', was a once-promising light heavyweight boxer who suffered a string of losses in the ring and broke his right hand.

Braddock was forced to labour on the docks of Hoboken while only his manager Joe Gould (Paul Giamatti) still believed in him, finding fights for Braddock to help support his wife Mae (Renée Zellweger) and their children. Together they stage an impossible comeback and in less than a year, Braddock gets his shot at heavyweight champion Max Baer (Craig Bierko), renowned for having allegedly killed two men in the ring. As a 10-1 underdog, Braddock carries the hopes and dreams of the desperate Depression-era working class on his shoulders as he steps into the ring.
