Rocky is me

A true story of incredible success. Aspiring actor Sylvester Stallone writes a script about a young boxer named Rocky. A major Hollywood studio wants to buy the brilliant project, but Stallone is ready to sell it only on the condition that he himself plays the main role. Studio bosses don't take seriously the ambitions of a young upstart whose face is partially distorted and whose speech is full of defects. Stallone refuses an impressive fee for his text, thereby dooming his family to years of difficulties. But he is not afraid of this - Stallone unconditionally believes in the success of the project, and therefore will do everything to ensure that the film of his dreams is made the way he needs and only with him in the leading role. The film became the biggest box office hit of 1976, received 10 Oscar nominations and won in three categories, including Best Picture.
