Despite being born without a right leg, Anthony Robles became an NCAA Division 1 Champion wrestler, ultimately winning a national championship against the school that rejected him, national powerhouse Iowa.
Based on the book Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion by Anthony Robles and Austin Murphy, Unstoppable is an inspiring, true story about Anthony Robles, who defied every expectation to become a national wrestling champion.
This film marks William Goldenberg’s directorial debut, who is also a decorated Academy Award-winning editor for Argo, with previous nominations for The Imitation Game, Zero Dark Thirty, Seabiscuit, and The Insider.
The film features an all-star ensemble cast, including Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña with Don Cheadle and Jennifer Lopez.
Anthony Robles, who is seen in the film and credited as ‘Anthony Robles Double,’ performs complex wrestling moves and stunts. He is also a film producer.
Jharrel Jerome trained for months and worked closely with Anthony to establish the physicality and determination required for the role.
Unstoppable had its World Premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival and will soon be released on Prime Video.
