The Fighter

Dicky Ecklund is a former boxing hero who squandered his talents and threw away his shot at greatness. Micky Ward, his half-brother, is the struggling journeyman boxer who spent his life living in his big brother's shadow. THE FIGHTER is inspired by the true story of these two brothers who, against all the odds, come together to train for a historic title bout that will unite their fractured family, redeem their pasts and, at last, give their hard-luck town what it's been waiting for: pride. © 2010 Fighter, LLC.
