Old King Desolate professional wrestler. It is said that professional wrestling games in the United States are not hand-to-hand combat. Rather, the outcome of the game was discussed in advance. However, which side wins, and in what way, must be kept strictly confidential. Therefore, for the audience, it is still quite suspenseful when watching the game. Since the result is not the first important thing, the process has become the biggest weight in attracting the audience. Therefore, professional wrestlers often need to keep taking illegal drugs to maintain their physical strength in order to avoid the audience's aesthetic fatigue, and invent new terrible tricks as much as possible. This dual threat is a serious blow and erosion to the wrestlers themselves and their opponents. Like Randy Robinson, the protagonist of the film. After the year is over, he is still fighting for his life in the wrestling ring until the deadline is approaching. However, life has been unable to accept him as an ordinary person lingering in the world. No lover, no friends, not even his biological daughter to accept him. Of course, all this cannot make the once-powerful "War Sheep" Randy succumb! So Zhanyang decided to return to the arena and complete the last battle of his life! The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor. There were rumors that Nicolas Cage was the first candidate to play Randy, but later changed to Mickey Rourke for some reason. And Cage's physique is obviously not as sturdy as Mickey Rourke, in fact, it is not suitable for playing a professional wrestler.
