Robles who—despite being born with one leg—defied all odds to become a national wrestling champion is played by Jharrel Jerome. Robles also contributes to the film not just as an inspiration for the story, but as a producer and his own stunt double.
The film boasts an all-star ensemble cast with Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Don Cheadle, and Jennifer Lopez, who will be portraying Robles’ mother. The release is set for December following the festival premiere, promising an inspiring story of determination and triumph to the big screen.
