Uppercut

Aspiring to make her mark in the ring, determined young fighter, Toni, seeks out tough ex-champion turned boxing gym owner, Elliott. Accepting the challenge to train her, an unlikely alliance is formed that sees the pair break through the boundaries of boxing, culminating in a final showdown that alters Toni's destiny profoundly. Years later as a pioneering female manager, Toni leads her own protégé through his championship fight night. Balancing the intricacies of personal boundaries and family dynamics, it's Elliott's wisdom she still draws upon; that real strength comes from the challenges you conquer when life throws its biggest punches your way. Blending action-packed fight scenes with gripping drama, this fresh take on a classic underdog story from the executive producer of Heist and Z for Zacharia, stars Golden Globe-winner Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Mission: Impossible franchise), Jordan E. Cooper (Pose, Freakier Friday) and Golden Globe-winner Joanna Cassidy (Blade Runner, Who Framed Roger Rabbit).
