starring
Sylvester Stallone Lee Canalito
Armand Assante
Hell's Kitchen - New
York City, 1946. Three brothers search desperately for a way out of their slum existence. The solution seems to lie in Vic's enormous strength and ability in the ring. But as the success grows, so the brothers grow apart. Only love can save them....
In his first film as director, Stallone presents a moving portrait of a family and a critical view of the American dream of 'success'. Vivid and compulsively entertaining, this is one of the most remarkable debuts in American cinema.
Produced by JOHN F. ROACH and RONALD A. SUPPA
