Foreman (2017)

FOREMAN is the riveting portrayal of the astonishing life and career of George Foreman, a towering figure in the boxing world who defied all odds. The narrative launches from his humble beginnings in the perilous streets of "the Bloody Fifth" in Houston, one of America's most dangerous neighborhoods, and charts a course through his meteoric rise to Olympic glory and the heavyweight championship. However, a stunning defeat in "the Rumble in the Jungle" to the hands of Muhammad Ali sends his life spiraling into a new direction. At the tender age of 28, Foreman bids farewell to his boxing gloves, devotes himself to spirituality, and takes to the streets of Houston as a preacher. For a decade, Foreman's fists remain unclenched, the boxing ring a distant memory. Yet, when he announces his return to boxing at nearly 40, now a minister and a hefty 300 pounds, laughter echoes around him. But what follows is a comeback story that redefines the boundaries of professional sports. At the ripe age of 45, Foreman clinches the heavyweight championship, becoming the oldest to do so in history. But the boxing ring isn't the only stage for Foreman's transformation. His journey from a feared antagonist to a beloved national icon is equally awe-inspiring. As he transitions from the boxing ring to the world of celebrity endorsements, Foreman achieves another victory, sealing the most lucrative celebrity marketing endorsement deal ever. FOREMAN is a mesmerizing tale of redemption and resurrection, crafting the extraordinary saga of the man behind the grill and his quest for the impossible dream.
