Back in the late '80s, Randy ""The Ram" Robinson
(Mickey Rourke) was a headlining professional
wrestler. Now, twenty years later, he ekes out a
living performing for handfuls of diehard
wrestling fans in high school gyms and community
centers around New Jersey. Estranged from his
daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) and unable to sustain
any real relationships, Randy lives for the thrill
of the show and the adoration of his fans.
However, a heart attack forces him into
retirement. As his sense of identity starts to
slip away, he begins to evaluate the state of his
lifetrying to reconnect with his daughter, and
striking up a blossoming romance with an exotic
dancer (Marisa Tomei) who is ready to start a new
life. Yet all this cannot compare to the allure of
the ring and passion for his art, which threatens
to pull Randy ""The Ram" back into his world of
wrestling.
