Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria) takes on a role unlike any she’s had before in David Michôd’s (Animal Kingdom) latest, transforming into Christy Martin, the most successful American female boxer of the 1990s. Beginning with her roots in small-town West Virginia, the film chronicles the grueling physical and emotional challenges she faced to reach the top, and the harrowing abuse she endured at the hands of her coach-turned-husband (a brilliant, chilling Ben Foster).

A fearless and empowering portrait of survival and self-actualization, Christy breaks free from the traditional sports biopic mold, packing a punch with its unflinching exploration of identity, sexuality, and the sheer will it takes to rise above unimaginable adversity.
