Rocky is a series of American boxing drama films. The first film, Rocky (1976), and its five
sequels centered on the boxing career of the eponymous fictional character, Rocky Balboa
(Sylvester Stallone). For the seventh and eighth spin-off-sequels Creed (2015) and Creed II
(2018), the series shifted towards Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan), the son of Rocky's
deceased rival and friend Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), as the titular boxer with the now-
retired Rocky appearing as his trainer. All films in the series were written or co-written by
Stallone except for Creed, which was written by Ryan Coogler and Aaron Covington. The
original film and the fifth installment were directed by John G. Avildsen, Creed was
directed by Coogler, Creed II was directed by Steven Caple Jr., and the rest were directed
by Stallone. In July 2019, Stallone said that another sequel to the Rocky franchise is in
development and there have been ongoing discussions about a prequel television series
based on the early years of Rocky Balboa.[1]

The film series has grossed more than $1.7 billion at the worldwide box office. The original
film, the third and the seventh have received Academy Award nominations. The first film
won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Film Editing. Stallone has received Academy
Award nominations for his portrayal of Rocky, in the first and seventh film. The
soundtrack of the series has also received nominations for the first and third films.

Rocky (1976)
Main article: Rocky
Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is a small-time boxer who seems to be going nowhere in
life, as he works day-in and day-out as a collector for a loan shark and fights in sleazy clubs
for low pay rewards, for which Rocky is mocked and told that he's nothing but a 'bum,'
especially by gym trainer Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith). At the same time, Rocky
successfully courts Adrian Pennino (Talia Shire), a painfully shy woman with an alcoholic
brother, Paulie (Burt Young). But when the world heavyweight champion boxer Apollo
Creed (Carl Weathers) chooses Rocky at random as his opponent in a title fight, Rocky
realizes he now has the chance to prove that he's not worthless. With Adrian's support and
Mickey becoming his trainer and manager, Rocky fights for his self-respect.

Rocky II (1979)
Main article: Rocky II
Soon after proving himself, even with a split decision loss to Apollo Creed, Rocky expects
the good life to follow. He marries Adrian and begins spending the money he earned from
the match. But after he fails at both endorsements and a series of low wage jobs, Rocky
realizes the only way he can survive is to begin boxing again. Creed on the other hand,
faces criticism from fans to overcome the fight. As a result, he publicly taunts Rocky into a
rematch, for which Rocky trains once again with Mickey. In the fifteenth round, Rocky
knocks Creed to the ground, falling to the canvas himself in the process. Both fighters
struggle to get to their feet, but only Rocky is successful. For the first time, Rocky is
declared the World Heavyweight Champion; even Apollo shows respect for him as he
regains his support from fans for doing a fair fight.
Rocky III (1982)
Main article: Rocky III
After winning the heavyweight title, Rocky takes advantage of his newfound wealth and
fame, appearing in multiple advertisements and television programs, and relishing his new
celebrity status. After defending the title multiple times, he is prepared to retire, but the
number one contender, James "Clubber" Lang (played by Mr. T), challenges Rocky
publicly. Rocky, after dealing with Mickey's heart attack before the fight, is overpowered
by the stronger, hungrier Lang and is knocked out in the second round. Mickey passes
away after the fight, and former rival Apollo Creed steps in, training Rocky to fight in
Creed's old style (in his old Los Angeles gym) and to use more guile and skill. In the
rematch, Rocky outboxes Lang, tiring the stronger fighter out and eventually knocking
him out in the third round. After the fight, Apollo calls in his "favor" for training Rocky,
which is a one-on-one match between the two of them with no cameras, no media, just man
vs. man in the gym. The film ends as they each throw their first punch.

Rocky IV (1985)
Main article: Rocky IV
After winning back his title from Clubber Lang, Rocky continues to live the good life, now
that he and Apollo are good friends. However, a new fighter from the USSR, Ivan Drago
(played by Dolph Lundgren), has emerged and challenges Rocky to an exhibition match.
Apollo fights instead, and the beating he takes from Drago ends with Apollo dying in
Rocky's arms in the ring as Drago coldly watches. To avenge Apollo, Rocky challenges
Drago to a match, which is to be held on Christmas Day in Moscow. In a montage replete
with symbolism, Rocky is shown training in a remote cabin in Siberia with the help of
Creed's old trainer Duke, his brother-in-law Paulie, and eventually Adrian, doing exercises
such as chopping wood, lifting rocks, running in the snow and climbing a mountain, while
Drago is seen in an advanced training facility running on treadmills, utilizing weightlifting
machines and injecting steroids to boost his strength. During the fight, Rocky takes the
worst beating of his life but refuses to fall. He eventually wins over the foreign crowd with
his display of courage and determination, and he knocks Drago out with seconds left in the
final round.

Rocky V (1990)
Main article: Rocky V
In the aftermath of his fight with Ivan Drago, Rocky Balboa is diagnosed with brain
damage and is forced to retire from the ring. Additionally, the Balboa fortune is all gone
due to an unscrupulous accountant. Rocky's family returns to their old neighborhood and
Adrian returns to the pet store she used to work at, while (in a subplot) Rocky (Robert) Jr.
(played by Sylvester Stallone's real son Sage) deals with bullying at his school and Rocky
re-opens Mickey's old gym. While training other boxers, Rocky meets a young, hungry
boxer named Tommy Gunn (played by real-life fighter Tommy Morrison) and begins
training him which results in a strained relationship with Robert. Unfortunately, as
Tommy begins his rise to fame under Rocky's wing, a sleazy fight promoter named George
Washington Duke convinces Tommy that Rocky is holding him back and Tommy leaves
Rocky for Duke. After Tommy wins the heavyweight title, he makes a short speech
thanking Duke, and is met with jeers and the familiar chant of "Rocky" from the crowd.
Seething from this insult, as well as being called by publicists as "Rocky's robot" and being
told that he's "no Rocky Balboa," Tommy decides to seek out his former mentor for a final
showdown. Rocky starts to walk away from the public challenge, but Paulie decides to let
Tommy have a piece of his mind about how Tommy has treated Rocky, and Tommy
proceeds to punch Paulie. Rocky then challenges Tommy outside and the two proceed in a
violent bare-knuckle street brawl, which Rocky wins. Rocky then proceeds to punch Duke
for harassing him. In the end, Rocky and Robert reconcile as they run up the steps as
father and son.

Rocky Balboa (2006)


Main article: Rocky Balboa (film)
In Rocky Balboa, twenty years have passed since his final fight with his former protégé,
Tommy "The Machine" Gunn. Long retired, Rocky Balboa still staggers around an ever-
changing world; his son is grown and distant, Paulie is working back at the meat plant, and
Rocky's wife Adrian has died. Rocky has opened a restaurant named after his wife, which
he stocks with mementos of his prime as he tells his old fight stories to customers. But when
a computer-simulated fight on ESPN depicting a bout between a young Rocky Balboa and
the current champion, Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver) reignites interest in the faded boxer,
Rocky discovers he has not lost his fighting spirit and considers an opportunity to prove
himself in the ring again. Rocky almost wins the fight but loses in a split decision just like
the first film. Rocky is last seen visiting his wife's grave saying, "Yo Adrian, we did it."

Creed (2015)
Main article: Creed (film)
Adonis "Donnie" Johnson (Michael B. Jordan), the illegitimate son of the late former
heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, tracks down Rocky Balboa at Adrian's and asks
Rocky to become his trainer. Rocky is reluctant, but eventually agrees. When word gets out
that Donnie is Creed's illegitimate son, the handlers of world light heavyweight champion
"Pretty" Ricky Conlan, who is forced into retirement by an impending prison term, offer
to make Donnie the latter's final challenger—provided that he change his name to Adonis
Creed. Donnie balks at first, wanting to forge his own legacy. However, he eventually
agrees. While helping Donnie train, Rocky learns he has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He is
initially unwilling to undergo chemotherapy because it wasn't enough to save Adrian from
