The movie by Guy Richie follows the story of underground bare hands fights, as well as introduces audience to different intriguing personalities, whose fates intertwine and end with stolen diamond.

«Raging bull» is a visceral masterpiece that looks into the life of a middleweight champion named Jake LaMotta who was haunted by the personal demons that could have destroyed his success. The boxing world and the inner problems of a multi-dimensional personality were vividly reflected in the remarkable acting performance of Robert De Niro.
To begin, «Real Steel» delves into the future sports drama in which human boxers have been replaced by robots. In the film, Hugh Jackman’s character, a former boxer and promoter, refinds his love of the sport as he instructs a junked robot to compete at the top levels. The movie covers issues of atonement, relationships, and the indomitable desire of sports in an ingenious and aesthetically magnificent setting.
