Academy Award winner Paul Newman stars in this bare-knuckled biography of boxer Rocky Graziano. Growing up as the toughest kid in the ghetto of New York's Lower East Side, Graziano spends half of his first twenty years in jails and detention homes. But after his release from the federal penitentiary, Graziano falls in love and marries ... and fights his way to the top of the boxing world and to a reputation as an honest athlete.
