The Hammer (2017)

In a world of iron bars and hardened hearts, George "The Hammer" Martin is a beacon of resilience. Known for his unbeatable record as a prison boxer, he shares the gritty prison life with his lifelong friend Doc Dixon. Their bond, forged in the fires of reform school and strengthened in the crucible of life imprisonment, is at times their only solace. Doc, a gifted songwriter, serves as George's devoted cornerman, finding rhythm in the cacophony of their life behind bars. When George is offered a ticket to freedom in exchange for representing his country in the 1984 Olympics, the prison walls reverberate with shock as he declines the golden opportunity. His refusal, a testament to his fierce loyalty to protect the woman he loves, sends ripples through their confined world. This unforeseen decision sends Doc on a soul-searching journey, making him question the very essence of friendship, loyalty, and heart. "The Hammer" is a poignant tale of friendship and sacrifice. It explores the depths of human bonds against the backdrop of a harsh prison environment, making the audience question their understanding of freedom and the lengths one would go to protect the ones they love.
