Story: | 
Inspired by an incredible true story, comes the gritty, affectionately 
humorous, yet stirring comeback tale of the unlikely boxing hero, 'Irish' 
Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg), and his half-brother, Dicky Eklund 
(Christian Bale), who had to come apart as opponents before coming together 
as brothers in a scrappy fight to win a long-shot championship and strengthen 
the bonds of their family.
