Description:
This boxed-set commemorating the 20th
anniversary of the release of the original ROCKY features all
five films in the series. See individual titles for further
details. ROCKY: The sleeper hit that made its star, Sylvester
Stallone, a household name. Italian-American underdog Rocky
Balboa gets a one-in-a-million chance at boxing glory when the
handlers for heavyweight champion Apollo Creed decide to set
up a sure-win title bout with a born loser. It's all part of a
bicentennial public relations stunt, but, unfortunately for
them, Rocky trains for the fight like a man whose life depends
on the outcome--which, in a way, it does. ROCKY II: The
Italian Stallion returns for a rematch with Apollo Creed,
hoping, finally, to capture the heavyweight title. This time,
even his girlfriend, Adrian, gives Rocky her blessing. ROCKY
III: Heavyweight champion Rocky Balboa faces his toughest
opponent yet: complacency. After 10 successful title defenses,
Rocky gets a little soft and loses his belt to brutal
up-and-comer Clubber Lang. Will former foe, now trainer,
Apollo Creed be able to put the fire back in Balboa's belly?
Rocky will need the "eye of the tiger" if he harbors
any hope of recapturing the title. ROCKY IV: This time Rocky
travels to snowbound Siberia to take revenge against the evil
Drago--a Soviet superboxer whose reckless aggression in the
ring took the life of Balboa's friend Apollo Creed. ROCKY V:
Fleeced by an unscrupulous accountant and unable to enter the
ring again because of brain damage from previous fights, Rocky
is forced to sell off his possessions and move back to the
mean streets of Philadelphia. The former champ pins his
comeback hopes on the brawny shoulders of an unformed,
streetwise contender whom he grooms for glory. Unfortunately,
a manipulative promoter clouds the young fighter's mind with
greed.
