His whole life was a million-to-one shot.
If you've ever watched Rocky and wondered how Sylvester Stallone actually got his big break... I Play Rocky is the incredible true story behind one of Hollywood's greatest underdog films.
It follows a young, struggling Stallone, who wrote the Rocky screenplay but refused to sell it unless he was allowed to play the lead himself. Despite being told he wasn't famous enough; he stuck to his guns... and the rest is movie history.
The film stars Anthony Ippolito as Stallone and is directed by Oscar-winner Peter Farrelly.
I Play Rocky hits cinemas in November.
