Plot – Rocky Balboa is a lousy boxer who merely makes his way through life in a suburb of Philadelphia, fighting in minor matches and working as a collector of debts for the local loan shark. The love of Adriana is the biggest success of his life. When the famous champion Apollo Creed is looking for a challenger, Rocky is given an opportunity. This is the first episode of the lucky saga. The best scenes of the film are when he prepares to fight: to follow Stallone during his runnings, steadycams were used for the first time.
