FILM SYNOPSIS:
Balancing gritty action and emotional heart, “Real Steel” is an
inspiring and visually stunning film that takes audiences on an
action-packed journey. Washed-up boxer Charlie Kenton (Hugh
Jackman) scrapes by as a small-time robot-fight promoter as he
tries to make a comeback. Against all odds he eventually
succeeds—at least in the eyes of his son Max (Dakota Goyo).
“Real Steel” is spectacular family entertainment that will have
everyone cheering again and again.
