Rocky
November 21, 1976When world heavyweight boxing champion Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) wants to give an unknown fighter a shot at the title as a publicity stunt, his handlers choose the unknown Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), an uneducated collector for a Philadelphia loan shark. With odds stacked heavily against him, Rocky teams up with trainer Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith) to make the most of this once in a lifetime break.
The story behind Rocky is just as inspiring as the film itself. Stallone wrote the movie, imagining himself as the star. Stallone was flat broke, and even had to sell his dog. But when studios offered to pay him for the script, he refused them if he wouldn’t be allowed to play the title character. The gamble paid off, and the original Rocky won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Editing. Stallone himself got Oscar nominations for Best Actor and Best Screenplay.
