This historic film is exactly what bodybuilding needed to reveal itself, so the rest of the world could see what goes into training for the top title in all of bodybuilding, "Mr. OLYMPIA." First of its kind, great film!

I read Arnold's book about his life story. It is AMAZING to see his friends come to life in this movie. Arnold's perseverance is moving. (Maria, please love him again.)

Great movie, but I don't plan on watching once or twice. More around time and time again
