Product Details:
In the stirring tradition of films like THE POWER OF ONE comes a potent story of courage and friendship. It is 1936 and the world is on the brink of war. As international rivalries are placed out in the boxing ring, Harlem-born prize-fighter Joe Louis and German champ Max Schmeling should have been mortal enemies. But despite their differences and in spite of government manipulation, Joe and Max continued their rivalry for the heavyweight championship in the ring. . . and forged a lasting friendship that would take them far beyond it. With acclaimed performances from TIL SCHWEIGER (from TOMB RAIDER 2), DAVID PAYMER (from PAYBACK), Australia’s own PETA WILSON (seen recently in THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN) and a terrific supporting cast, JOE & MAX is knockout entertainment and a contender for one of the best movies you will see this year. |
