80 lerin en başarılı profesyonel güreşçilerinden biri olan Randy Koç Robinson, artık New Jersey civarındaki okul ve müsamere salonlarında dövüşerek kuruşu kuruşuna geçinmeye çalışmaktadır. Yalnız, özel hayatında başarısız, tek ailevi bağı olan kızıyla arası kopuk bir adamdır. Ringe çıkmanın heyecanı, dövüşün adrenalini ve kalan hayranlarının sevgisiyle hayata tutunur. Ancak bir karşılaşma esnasında kalp krizi geçirince, doktoru, Randy ye bir daha güreşmemesi gerektiğini söyler. Şov dünyasına bu şekilde zoraki bir veda eden Randy, hayatını gözden geçirmek durumunda kalır.
A hugely successful professional wrestler in the late 80s, Randy The Ram Robinson now ekes out a living performing for diehard wrestling fans in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey. Estranged from his daughter, unable to sustain any real relationships, Randy lives for the thrill of the show, the adrenalin rush of combat and the adoration of his remaining fans. But when he suffers a heart attack in the middle of a bout, Randy s doctor tells him he needs to lay off the steroids and stop wrestling. For good. Forced out of show business, Randy begins to evaluate the state of his life. He takes a day job, tries to reconnect with his daughter and strikes up a wary romance with a stripper, Pam. But try as he might to resist, the pull of the spotlight is too much for him and Randy attempts once again to fight his way back into the ring. Visionary director Darren Aronofsky presents a tale of battered dreamers and undefeated losers, a powerful portrait of a hero despite himself and the odds stacked against him. Some 25 years after Mickey Rourke electrified audiences in Rumble Fish, he returns to form with one of the most gripping on-screen performances in recent years, capturing the pathos and humanity of this ageing wrestler with subtle, heart-breaking honesty.
