Over the Top 1987
Lincoln Hawk, whose only friend is a truck, lives the only lifestyle he knows; that is, he brushes off the dust of America's vast roads and occasionally participates in arm wrestling matches with other truckers. In fact, his former life is not like that at all: his ex-wife, Christina, is none other than the daughter of billionaire Jason Cutler. Moreover, a large share of their divorce belongs to the bad old man. Lincoln, who hasn't seen his ex-wife and their son Michael for years, can't resist the wishes of Christina, who has a terminal illness one day, and takes long-time cadet Michael with her. time on the road. Thus, he wants to experience a real rapprochement between father and son and to get rid of the pain of lost years. Of course, that's not all Lincoln's thinking. Winning $100,000 in cash and a new truck prize, he has set his sights on the pinnacle of the World Arm Wrestling Championship! The script of this Sylvester Stallone movie, which was disappointing at the box office contrary to expectations when it was released, was written by the famous actor himself. It's basically a film with both a breathtaking ending and a sweet message from a still-unspoiled '80s world about how strong the human spirit can be if it wants to. But not Robert Redford's champion...
