ROCKY III (1982)

A Fighter. A Lover. A Legend. The Greatest Challenge.

In Rocky III, Rocky Balboa undergoes both internal and external changes in attempts to improve his personal life, is challenged to hold his World Heavyweight title, and finds that it’s not nearly as difficult to get to the top as it is to stay there. He also learns how to get back the Eye of the Tiger.

While this third installment follows the paths of the characters from the original film, Rocky III also depicts the tremendous differences that time – and success – have brought into each of the character’s lives.
