Touted upon its release as the finale of the
Rocky saga, this fifth entry in the long-running series of
sports dramas reunites star
Sylvester Stallone with
John G. Avildsen, director of the Oscar-winning original.
Stallone is
Rocky Balboa, suffering from career-ending brain damage as a result of his punishing bout with
Ivan Drago at the finale of the previous film. Upon their return to Philadelphia,
Rocky and his wife,
Adrian (
Talia Shire), discover they are broke, their fortune squandered by an incompetent accountant. Forced to move back to their working-class neighborhood,
Rocky finds that his only asset is the run-down gym willed to him by
Mickey (
Burgess Meredith, who appears in new flashback sequences). Resisting big money offered to him by
Don King-like boxing promoter
George Washington Duke (
Richard Gant),
Rocky becomes a trainer and finds a talented comer in
Tommy Gunn (real-life boxer
Tommy Morrison, nephew of
John Wayne).
Rocky's son (played by
Stallone's real-life son
Sage Stallone) feels neglected by his father, who lavishes attention on his protégé, but
Tommy ultimately turns his back on his mentor to sign a more lucrative deal with
Duke, leading to a street-fight showdown.
