Jharrel Jerome stars as Anthony Robles in Unstoppable.
It seems like wrestling films are in, since three projects with this theme are featured in the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival lineup. Yet, one stands out from the rest as a compelling true story about an athlete who defeated the odds and won matches using only one leg. Unstoppable, a directorial debut by Air and Argo editor William Goldenberg, recounts a portion of Anthony Robles' life as an emerging wrestler on the lookout for a full-ride scholarship.
Without a responsible paternal figure around, the main character decides to take matters into his own hands, working full-time cleaning planes, hitting the weights to remain on the team, and getting the grades to keep his scholarship. With several obstacles in his way, Anthony clings to his dreams and looks up to his role model Rocky Balboa as fuel to accomplish every task on his plate.
'Unstoppable' Has an Inspiring Plot, But Doesn't Reinvent the Wheel The truth is, Anthony's story is touching in and of itself, with no need for embellishments. Goldenberg's choice to keep the story tight and dynamic is a positive one, since the film is able to balance the heaviness of the domestic abuse plotline, and the powerful wrestling underdog narrative.
