From the director of Night at the Museum and Date Night comes the science fiction action Academy Award-nominated film Real Steel starring Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Kevin Durand and Evangeline Lilly. Based on the 1955 short story “Steel” by Richard Matheson, it is the year 2020 and the world of boxing has gone high-tech. Human boxers have been replaced by 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots. Charlie Kenton is a washed up fighter who lost his chance at the title and now earns just enough money to pick up scrap robots for underground boxing fights. Just as when he hits rock bottom, he meets his estranged son Max after his ex-girlfriend passes away.
Max’s wealthy uncle and aunt want full custody and make a monetary offer to Charlie that he cannot refuse. The only catch is that Max must spend a few months with Charlie while the couple is away. Charlie reluctantly agrees and father and son slowly begin to bond. Against all odds, they team up to build and train an obsolete Generation-2 sparring bot named Atom to become a champion contender, giving Charlie the fight of his life.
