This week, we step into the ring with Cinderella Man (2005), the inspiring true-story drama starring Russell Crowe as heavyweight boxer James J. Braddock.
Set against the hardship of the Great Depression, Braddock goes from struggling to provide for his family to getting an unexpected second shot at boxing glory. We break down the performances, the brutal fight scenes, Ron Howard’s direction, and the real-life story behind one of boxing’s greatest comebacks.
Is Cinderella Man an overlooked sports-movie classic? How well does it hold up 20 years later? And where does James J. Braddock’s story rank among Hollywood’s best underdog tales?
Grab your gloves and answer the bell — it’s time to cover Cinderella Man.
