Gladiator

One fought to win. The other fought to survive. Two friends are pitted against each other by a corrupt boxing promoter in a brutal battle that threatens to destroy their friendship and lives. Cuba Gooding, Jr. (As Good as it Gets, Boyz N the Hood, Jerry Maguire) and James Marshall (Twin Peaks) star as the talented amateurs who are exploited by the ruthless promoter Horn (Brian Dennehy, F/X, F/X 2) and his scout (Robert Loggia, Jagged Edge) in the fight of their lives.
