Fighting Back: The Story of Rocky Bleier

1h 35m 1980

TRAILER

Football jock Rocky Bleier makes it all the way to the pros with the Pittsburgh Steelers, only to be drafted in the Vietnam War. Wounded by a hand grenade overseas, Bleier returns to the U.S., and told he will never walk again. However, after a lengthy, grueling rehabilitation, Bleier ultimately walks again. Soon, he trains with his old team for inspiration. Boss Art Rooney's sympathy and regard for Bleier pays off when Bleier improbably comes all the way back, ultimately playing for a Super Bowl Championship with the Steelers. But are all the good feelings and inspiration Bleier engenders enough to carry him to an NFL championship?
