Rocky Balboa

“It ain't over 'til it's over.”

Rocky, now fifty-six and running a small restaurant in Philadelphia, gets pulled back into the ring when Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver), the reigning heavyweight champion, accepts an exhibition match against him. Stallone strips away the grand machinery of earlier fights, settling on an aging man who needs to prove he still has it. In the end, Rocky stands alone in the arena, sweat and blood catching the light, still standing.
