Zac Efron leads an absorbing, true-life drama about the Von Erichs, a family of wrestlers in the late 1970s and 1980s who were going to obey the will of their father, even if it killed them.
Kevin (Zac Efron), Kerry (Jeremy Allen White), David (Harris Dickinson) and Mike (Stanley Simons) are the inseparable Von Erich brothers, whose driving force in life is to make history as professional wrestlers. Through tragedy and triumph, under the shadow of their domineering father and coach (Holt McCallany), the brothers seek larger-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports.
As exuberant as it is mournful,The Iron Claw is a combustible family drama of love, loss, and pro wrestling not to be missed.
