The Harder They Fall

Out-of-work sportswriter Eddie Willis accepts a high-paying job from shady promoter Nick Benko to publicize his new heavyweight fighter, Toro Moreno. Despite knowing Toro has no real talent, Willis helps build a false narrative through a nationwide tour of rigged matches. The scheme leads to a lucrative title bout, but when another boxer dies in the ring, Willis is forced to confront the deep corruption and his own role in the dangerous deception.
