Summary:
During the Great Depression, a common-man hero,
James J. Braddock--a.k.a. the "Cinderella Man"--was to become one of the most
surprising sports legends in history. By the early 1930s, the impoverished
ex-prizefighter was seemingly as broken-down, beaten-up and out-of-luck as much
of the rest of the American populace who had hit rock bottom. His career
appeared to be finished, he was unable to pay the bills, the only thing that
mattered to him--his family--was in danger, and he was even forced to go on
Public Relief. But deep inside, Jim Braddock never relinquished his
determination. Driven by love, honor and an incredible dose of grit, he willed
an impossible dream to come true. In a last-chance bid to help his family,
Braddock returned to the ring. No one thought he had a shot. However Braddock,
fueled by something beyond mere competition, kept winning. Suddenly, the
ordinary working man became the mythic athlete. Carrying the hopes and dreams of
the disenfranchised on his shoulders, Braddock rocketed through the ranks, until
this underdog chose to do the unthinkable: take on the heavyweight champ of the
world, the unstoppable Max Baer, renowned for having killed two men in the ring
