Bringing to the screen the extraordinary true story of gentle giant mixed martial arts and UFC fighter champion Mark Kerr, as he faces up to the demons of the sport and within himself, portrayed with sincere, raw vulnerability by a transformative Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, alongside his devoted partner Dawn (Emily Blunt).
