Short: Born without a right leg, Anthony Robles was at first an unlikely candidate for a future NCAA wrestling champion to everyone except the one who mattered most: Himself. This all-star cast (Jennifer Lopez, Jharrel Jerome, Michael Peña, Don Cheadle) tells the rousing tale.

Long: Come for the all-star cast (Jennifer Lopez, Michael Peña, Don Cheadle), stay for the true-life inspiration that will remain with you long after the house lights come up—and quite possibly forever change the way you view what is and is not possible.

Born without a right leg, Anthony Robles (portrayed here by Moonlight and When They See Us breakout star Jharrel Jerome) may have at first been an unlikely candidate for a future winner of a NCAA wrestling championship to everyone except the one who mattered most: Himself.

Based on Robles’ 2012 memoir, this official selection of the 2024 Toronto International Film Fest from the team behind the 2023’s Air deftly interweaves heartfelt family drama and rousing mat-centered sports action for a film that champions the potential outsized benefits of both accessibility and positive mental attitude.
