It's a story that carries through the generations and obviously, so do the sequels...of which there are many.
Plot: Rocky, a good, but average boxer is picked out of a hat to face the heavy weight champion of the world. Fancying himself in with a shout, the softly spoken and understated ruffian trains loads, usually to musical accompaniment and montage, fights the champ and, well...you know the rest.
Shot in 1976, on a budget of $1,000,000 this film made over $225,000,000!!!!
What?!!!!!
Stallone even wrote the thing!
Fun Fact: Roger Ebert (famous film reviewer, like what I am, obviously) gave the film 4/4 and likened Stallone to a young Brando. Best Film, Best Director and Best Editing honours were won at the 1976 Academy Awards.
