Synopsis:

With a screenplay adapted by Leonard Gardner from his own novel, John Huston's drama examines the meager hopes and resigned dreams of small-time boxers. In limbo between retirement and his youthful prime, alcoholic farm laborer Tully (Stacy Keach) shacks up with fellow outcast Oma (Susan Tyrrell) and keeps trying to make a boxing comeback, but his personal demons repeatedly overpower his ambitions. Meanwhile, fellow Stockton, CA resident and budding fighter Ernie (Jeff Bridges) takes Tully's advice to join trainer Ruben (Nicholas Colasanto)'s gym and make something of himself. Learning the tough lesson that winning is not as easy as it sounds, Ernie is still determined to get what he can out of boxing and, unlike Tully, not let disappointments get the best of him.

Story about two boxers - one who has gone to seed, and a young man of 18 who is just starting out. Both of them are losers, and the film chronicles their decline. Screenplay by Leonard Gardner Based on the novel by Leonard Gardner.

The film tells the story of two boxers and their problems. One of them is on the decline of his career while the other one just begins his ascent in this sport.
