Plot

Struggling boxer Micky Ward has long been overshadowed by his older bother and trainer, Dicky, a local legend who is now spectacularly failing to battle his many demons. The explosive relationship of these two men threatens to destroy any hope for both, and in-particular the morally uncorrupted Micky who is offered one final jab at greatness. Based on a true story ‘The Fighter’ is a powerful, intense and ultimately uplifting human drama; impressively acted by all, but with an Oscar winning performance from Christian Bale as the hopelessly derailed brother Dicky.
