Movie Description
This boxed-set commemorating the 20th anniversary of the release of the original ROCKY features all five films in the series. See individual titles for further details.
ROCKY: The sleeper hit that made its star, Sylvester Stallone, a household name. Italian-American underdog Rocky Balboa gets a one-in-a-million chance at boxing glory when the handlers for heavyweight champion Apollo Creed decide to set up a sure-win title bout with a born loser. It's all part of a bicentennial public relations stunt, but, unfortunately for them, Rocky trains for the fight like a man whose life depends on the outcome--which, in a way, it does.
ROCKY II: The Italian Stallion returns for a rematch with Apollo Creed, hoping, finally, to capture the heavyweight title. This time, even his girlfriend, Adrian, gives Rocky her blessing.
ROCKY III: Heavyweight champion Rocky Balboa faces his toughest opponent yet: complacency. After 10 successful title defenses, Rocky gets a little soft and loses his belt to brutal up-and-comer Clubber Lang. Will former foe, now trainer, Apollo Creed be able to put the fire back in Balboa's belly? Rocky will need the "eye of the tiger" if he harbors any hope of recapturing the title.
ROCKY IV: This time Rocky travels to snowbound Siberia to take revenge against the evil Drago--a Soviet superboxer whose reckless aggression in the ring took the life of Balboa's friend Apollo Creed.
ROCKY V: Fleeced by an unscrupulous accountant and unable to enter the ring again because of brain damage from previous fights, Rocky is forced to sell off his possessions and move back to the mean streets of Philadelphia. The former champ pins his comeback hopes on the brawny shoulders of an unformed, streetwise contender whom he grooms for glory. Unfortunately, a manipulative promoter clouds the young fighter's mind with greed.
