Movie Summary:

Set in the future, “Real Steel” tells the story of Charlie Kenton, a former boxer who was forced out of his career when big metal robots took over the sport of boxing.  Charlie, who is now an unsuccessful boxing promoter, finds out that his wife has died and that he will now have full custody of his son, Max.  Charlie and Max do not see eye to eye, because in the past, Charlie had never spent much time with him.  Once they realize that they both share a passion of robot boxing, they begin to form a relationship and learn to care about each other.  When Charlie and Max discover the remains of a robot in a steel factory and piece the robot back together (whom they name Atom), they enter him into the sport of boxing.  After many successes with the robot, they find that they have a chance of winning the robot boxing title. 

“Real Steel” has some good morals about forgiveness and persistence.  The boxing scenes are cool, but the movie does contain some language.  “Real Steel” is a good movie.                                          

                   

Gear up and head to the theater to see this “real” cool movie!
