Rocky II
Drama120 min
In the aftermath of his first fight with Apollo Creed, Rocky Balboa tries to build a life beyond the ring. Fame brings attention but not much stability, and as he settles into marriage with Adrian, everyday pressures start crowding in. Rocky wants a normal future and a way to support his family without taking more punishment, but the jobs he finds do not last and the spotlight keeps pulling him back. At the same time, Apollo Creed, played by Carl Weathers, cannot let their first bout stand and pushes hard for a rematch. As the demand for another fight grows, Rocky has to decide what he owes Adrian, himself, and the name he made in the ring.
