Based on the story of Micky Ward, a fledgling boxer who tries to escape the shadow of his more famous but troubled older boxing brother and get his own shot at greatness.

Less than 24 hours into his parole, charismatic thief Danny Ocean and his partner-in-crime Rusty Ryan recruit a team of specialists to attempt to rob three Las Vegas casinos to exact revenge on Danny's rival, Terry Benedict. But when they begin hatching their plan, they realize it'll be much harder than they initially thought.

Rocky Balboa, now in his late fifties and retired from boxing, lives a quiet life as a widower, Adrian Pennino having died from cancer four years prior. He now runs a small but successful Italian restaurant named after her, where he regales his patrons with stories of his past. He also battles personal demons from his grief over Adrian's death, the changing times, and his eroding relationship with his son Robert, a struggling corporate employee. Paulie Pennino, Rocky's brother-in-law, continues to support him whenever he can, and is guilt-ridden over his poor treatment towards his late sister.
