Storyline

Unstoppable is the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome) who was born with one leg but whose indomitable spirit and unbreakable resolve empowered him to defy the odds and pursue his dreams. With the unwavering love and support of his devoted mother Judy (Jennifer Lopez) and the encouragement of his coaches, Anthony fights through adversity to earn a spot on the Arizona State Wrestling team. But it will demand everything he has, physically and mentally, to achieve his ultimate quest to become an NCAA Champion.

About Unstoppable Movie

Unstoppable is an American biographical sports drama film that tells the inspiring story of Anthony Robles, a wrestler born without a leg who triumphs over adversity to become an NCAA Division I wrestling champion. Directed by William Goldenberg and written by Eric Champnella, Alex Harris, and John Hindman, the film is based on Robles’s 2012 autobiography. Jharrel Jerome stars as Robles, with a supporting cast that includes Jennifer Lopez, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle.

In April 2014, David Crockett and Andy Fraser secured the rights to adapt Robles’s autobiography, with Champnella penning the screenplay. By September 2018, Jason Mitchell was cast in the lead role.

In November 2019, 101 Studios acquired the film rights, with Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia set to produce through their company, Seven Bucks Productions. The project was revitalized in March 2023, with Goldenberg making his directorial debut. He previously collaborated with Ben Affleck as an editor on films like Gone Baby Gone, Argo, Live by Night, and Air, with Affleck and Matt Damon producing under Artists Equity. It was announced that Jennifer Lopez would join the cast, with Jharrel Jerome taking over the role of Robles.

Principal photography began in Los Angeles in May 2023 but was halted two weeks later due to the Writers Guild of America strike. Filming resumed on December 12, 2023, following the SAG-AFTRA strike, and included the addition of Don Cheadle, Michael Peña, and Bobby Cannavale to the cast. Filming concluded on January 14, 2024, and in post-production, Jerome’s right leg was digitally removed to accurately portray Robles’s experience.

Unstoppable Release Date

Unstoppable had its premiere as part of the Gala section of the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024. The film was given a limited theatrical release by Amazon MGM Studios on December 6, 2024. It will be streamed on Prime Video on January 16, 2025. The Los Angeles premiere of the film, originally scheduled for January 7, 2025, at the DGA Theater, was canceled due to the Palisades Fire.
