FIGHTING (2009)
SYNOPSIS
Small-town boy Shawn MacArthur (Channing Tatum)
has come to New York City with nothing. Barely earning
a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his
luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden
(Terrence Howard) sees that he has a natural talent for
streetfighting. When Harvey offers Shawn help at
making the real cash, the two form an uneasy
partnership.
As Shawn's manager, Harvey introduces him to the
corrupt bare-knuckle circuit, where rich men bet on
disposable pawns. Almost overnight, he becomes a
star brawler, taking down professional boxers, mixed
martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of
staggeringly intense bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to
escape the dark world in which he's found himself, he
must now face the toughest fight of his life. --©
