I, Rocky

I, Rocky tells a story about the courage to believe in a dream and seize an opportunity. Rocky was born fifty years ago. Now comes the story of how Stallone was born.

Before Sylvester Stallone became a Hollywood star, he was a young actor with a huge dream. In a few days, he wrote a screenplay about Rocky Balboa, an ordinary boxer from Philadelphia who gets a chance to face a champion. Hollywood noticed the script. Stallone was certain that he would play Rocky himself. He saw himself in the outsider.

This begins the journey from a few screenplay pages to the 1976 film Rocky. The film wins an Oscar for Best Picture and turns the unknown Stallone into a star. Rocky Balboa becomes one of cinema's most famous heroes.
