The Smashing Machine

“Rocky of our Time” THE SMASHING MACHINE from hit studio A24, directed by mastermind Benny Safdie (UNCUT GEMS).

Audience favorite Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson slips into the role of legendary MMA fighter Mark Kerr and gives a deep insight into the abyss of a man who fights even when no one is watching. Kerr, an icon of the early UFC era, is at the height of his career and at the same time on the edge of the abyss - a life between fame and self-destruction. Former Playboy model and Kerr's future wife Dawn Staples, played by Emily Blunt, tries to give him support despite all the setbacks and excesses, and reaches her own limits in the process. An unsparing look behind the facade of a fighter and a role in which Dwayne Johnson reinvents himself: as ROCKY of the new generation.
