Rocky (1976) — DVD — New
Sylvester Stallone stars as Rocky Balboa, a small-time Philadelphia boxer who receives an improbable opportunity to challenge heavyweight champion Apollo Creed. With the support of shy pet-shop worker Adrian, her brother Paulie and gruff trainer Mickey, Rocky trains for a fight that could change his life.
