Against the ropes / Paramount Pictures presents in association with MMP Erste Filmproduktions GmbH, a Cort/Madden production ; produced by Robert W. Cort and David Madden ; written by Cheryl Edwards ; directed by Charles D. Dutton.
Jackie Kallen is a sassy, brassy boxing manager-in-the-making determined to change "Lethal" Luther Shaw from a mere street punk into a world-class prizefighter. To help Shaw rise to the rank of number-one contender, Jackie coaxes veteran trainer Felix Reynolds out out retirement. Before they can all realize their dream of a championship bout, they must first learn what it takes to stand in each other's corner. Jackie Kallen becomes the first female to ever make a name for herself in this male-dominated sport.
