The definitive cinematic underdog story, Sylvester Stallone’s Best Picture-winning triumph is back on the big screen at Filmhouse to celebrate its 50th Anniversary!

Rocky Balboa is a Philadelphia club fighter who seems to be going nowhere. But when a stroke of fate puts him in the ring with the world heavyweight champion, Rocky knows that it's his one shot at the big time.Guided by a crusty old trainer and fueled by a tender romance with shy pet shop clerk Adrian, Rocky prepares not to win, but simply to prove his worth by going the distance against impossible odds.

Renowned for its groundbreaking, fluid Steadicam sequences up the museum steps and Bill Conti’s electrifying brass score, Rocky is a gritty, deeply moving portrait of heart and human resilience.

In English.
