The movie tells the story of how an ordinary boxer named Rocky, through tenacity and perseverance and tireless efforts, ends up in a boxing match with the champion.
Stallone is not only the protagonist of the movie, but also the screenwriter of the movie. Stallone happened to watch the match between the world champion boxer Muhammad Ali and the boxer Chuck Wimber, so he was inspired, and then he created the screenplay of Rocky in just 3 and a half days. The movie was made at a very low production cost of just one million US dollars, and was shot in only 28 days, and unexpectedly earned more than one hundred seventeen million two hundred thousand US dollars in box office receipts.
The movie’s theme song, “Gonna Fly Now,” is very catchy.
