I Play Rocky

The film is an electrifying true story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he wasn’t just meant to write Rocky—he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Told “no” at every turn, aspiring actor Sylvester Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead in his movie. The result is the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.

Anthony Ippolito is impossible not to root for as Stallone, perfectly mirroring the same unassuming magnetism that allowed Rocky to become a true phenomenon. I Play Rocky not only serves up impressive shot-for-shot scene recreations for die-hard fans, but also stands on its own as a moving testament to the power of passion and determination in the face of seemingly impossible odds.
