O Wrestler
07/09/2008
A história do filme tem como pano de fundo o mundo do Wrestling nos EUA. Mas é nos escalões mais amadores e secundários desta modalidade que encontramos o protagonista, Randy "The Ram", uma antiga estrela da modalidade que atingiu o seu auge profissional nos anos 80 e que agora vive numa roulote. Randy sobrevive a trabalhar num supermercado e a fazer combates de exibição em pequenos recintos, junto com outros profissionais tão acabados como ele ou com jovens em início de carreira. Randy perdeu o contacto com a filha que abandonou quando era pequena e conta apenas com a amizade de uma simpática stripper. Um dia, após um combate de uma brutalidade invulgar, tem um ataque de coração e é operado de emergência. Salva-se por uma unha negra e o médico diz-lhe que tem que desistir de lutar. Mas Randy quer sair em grande da profissão, mesmo que isso signifique arriscar a vida.
