Fighting

ActionAdventureCrimeDramaRomance105 min

With no money and no foothold in New York City, Shawn MacArthur scrapes by selling counterfeit goods on the street until a chance encounter pulls him into the underground fight scene. Channing Tatum is Shawn, a small-town newcomer whose talent for bare-knuckle brawling catches the eye of Terrence Howard’s Harvey Boarden, a fast-talking operator who sees a way to turn that talent into cash. As they form an uneasy partnership, the story follows street hustles, backroom deals, and the pressure that comes with fighting for a living in a city that doesn’t make room for anyone.
