【Synopsis】The story takes place in a slum in Philadelphia in the eastern United States. Thirty-year-old Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) is burly and powerful. He is a minions of a mafia organization and an amateur boxer, often acting as a bell breaker, playing four games in a row, but not even getting a tip.

It turns out that she is the younger sister of Pori (Potter Young), named Adelian (Talia Charles), who is ordinary and introverted. Although Rocky's temperament is very different from hers, he has secretly fallen in love with her, and she has not easily fallen in love. Rocky pursues her desperately, and the old girl, who has never been comforted by men, finally falls in love with him. The two often fantasize about one day changing their current situation and living a good life. The opportunity finally came. American heavyweight black boxing champion Apollo (Carl Weathers) withdrew from the tournament due to injury, and the organizers had a clever move to select Rocky as their opponent. Since the competition was a german event to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the winner could receive a huge amount of $150,000, and the impoverished third-rate boxer Rocky suddenly became the subject of interviews by TELEVISION and newspaper reporters. Although Rocky knew in his heart that he could not win against his opponents, he believed that as long as he could play 15 rounds with the world champion without being knocked down, it would be his victory. With this belief, he seized the time to train hard. Rocky is left-handed, and his left hand is good, but his right hand is not. Under the careful guidance of coach Mickey, Rocky worked hard to develop a new set of boxing techniques. Pori cheers him on, especially Adelian pours her heart into Rocky. Now he is not a nest, inspired by ideals and love, he is refreshed and scrappy. On the day of the game, Rocky came to the game with high morale, and he and Apollo fought to the death. Despite Apollo's constant teasing of him, he was calm and composed. He was beaten to the point where his nose was blue and his face was swollen, his head was bleeding and his vision was blurred, but he struggled for 15 rounds... The film ends with him and his girlfriend, Edley, hugging each other.
The screenplay for "Rocky" was written by Sylvester Stallone, inspired by the boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wipner, who was still a nobody at the time, but insisted on being knocked down by the boxing king Ali technique until the fifteenth round, and before the game, a reporter questioned whether Wipner could survive, and Wipp's answer was: I am a survivor in life, if I can survive in the Marine Corps, then Ali's fist is not afraid. Sylvester Stallone watched the match, was impressed by Wipner's spirit, and after the boxing match, began writing the script for Lodge.
To make up the budget, the producers even used their house as collateral. The photographs on Rocky's mirrors are indeed those of Sylvester Stallone when he was a teenager.
