This is inspired by True Events and centers on Kevin Von Erich (Zac Efron) the surviving brother of the professional wrestling family. The film gives us a glimpse of his childhood with his father Fritz (Holt McCallany) as a professional wrestler known as 'The Iron Claw". He raised his sons to work out on the ranch and be in the ring. Kevin wrestles. His younger brother David (Harris Dickinson) would soon follow him into the ring. Kerry (Jeremy Allen White) was on his way to be in the 1980 Olympics which got canceled. Dad talked him into the ring. Their youngest brother Michael (Stanley Simons) is happy not to be in the ring but is pressured by his father. Tragedy strikes the family as it dwindles one by one.
I never heard of these guys before I watched the film. I did know Ric Flair (Aaron Dean Eisenberg). Not being a fan I wasn't really into the bitter-seet tale of the family. The script couldn't hold me.
Guide: F-word. Brief Sex. Male butt nudity.
