The Iron Claw
The Iron Claw
The true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who made history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. Through tragedy and triumph, under the shadow of their domineering father and coach, the brothers seek larger-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports.

I am a lifelong wrestling fan so I have a different perspective. For historical accuracy this is poor, there are omissions and changes that don’t even make sense based on the story being told. For acting this is excellent, Holt McCallany was perfect as Fritz, Harris Dickinson was perfect as David, and Zac and Jeremy were very close to Kevin and Kerry. This is a good movie but also a very depressing story and one of the most tragic tales in wrestling, so don’t hold any hope for a happy resolution.
