Der Champ (1979)
Der geschiedene ehemalige Boxweltmeister Billy ‘The Champ’ Flynn bringt sich und seinen achtjährigen Sohn als Arbeiter auf einer Pferderennbahn mühsam durchs Leben. Um das Vertrauen und die Bewunderung des Jungen zu rechtfertigen, nimmt er nochmals das Box-Training auf. Mit einem Comebackkampf will er seinem Sohn ein besseres Leben finanzieren.
