Unstoppable

  William Goldenberg

  United States     116 minutes

Synopsis

Based on a true story, this inspiring drama follows Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome) who was born with one leg but whose indomitable spirit and unbreakable resolve empowered him to defy the odds and pursue his dreams. With the unwavering love and support of his devoted mother Judy (Jennifer Lopez) and the encouragement of his coaches, Anthony fights through adversity to earn a spot on the Arizona State Wrestling team. But it will demand everything he has, physically and mentally, to achieve his ultimate quest to become an NCAA champion.

Unstoppable features standout performances from a stellar cast: Moonlight actor Jerome’s fiercely committed performance as the determined athlete, Lopez’s wrenching portrayal of a conflicted mother, and Don Cheadle as a hardened wrestling coach who pulls no punches. Viscerally capturing both the thrilling physicality of the matches (overseen by the real-life Robles) and the emotional turmoil off the mat, Unstoppable is the apotheosis of the powerfully inspirational sports drama.
