Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2006)

A lonely man named Rocky Balboa form the dirty Streetsd of Philidolphia PA. with only his pets to keep him company and doing dirty work. Gets the shot of a lifetime when he is chosen to face Appolo Creed the world champion. This film came out in 1976 the 200th birth year of USA. So it was a perfect idea to make a movie about the main character from Philly who raises to the occasion and becomes a really tough American hero. He had a hell of a manger who pushed and trained Rockey so he would be tougher then people thought. Not to mention his good friend Pauley and girlfriend Adrain He did his best in the fight. He wanted to go the distance for respect. He was not really looking to win the match just do his best, but when the smoked cleared a new American hero was born.
