Foxcatcher begins as a relatively slow drama then begins to take place rather quickly. In a scene which is shot at a distance, Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) fills the room with physical force that doesn't stop when the workout ends. This is his home, the only place he's alive and himself. He has an upstairs apartment and a beat-up car and an Olympic gold medal that he puts around his neck before he speaks to bored kids at a school assembly, but his life is in the wrestling room and nowhere else.
Suddenly when Schultz gets a mysterious invitation to meet a rich man at a country estate. The man, John du Pont (Steve Carell), he wants Schultz and his older brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo), also an Olympic champion, to move to the estate, Foxcatcher Farm, and start an elite wrestling team that he will bankroll. Du Pont woes Schultz with patriotic bromides and pricks at the younger man's pride and vanity with his words and his checkbook.
