Iron Claw

Director: Sam Durkin (2023)

Cast: Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Lily James

We are used to these stories about domineering fathers and sons and their will to succeed, despite their resentments. This is a very inspirational, yet sad movie and well worth your time. It centers around professional wrestling. It doesn’t always end well for the heroes of these events, but the movie really is exciting and worth checking out.

Iron Claw is the true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers (Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White), who make history in the crazily-competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. Through tragedy and triumph, under the shadow of their domineering father and coach, the brothers seek larger-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports.
