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 and well-known female boxer in 1990s America. 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.
