Description of this Rocky IV Poster
Rocky IV – The Battle of the Century is a 1985 American film and the fourth installment in the Rocky feature film series. Sylvester Stallone wrote the screenplay, directed it, and starred in the lead role. In late 2021, a director’s cut of the film will be released under the title Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago, which Sylvester Stallone directed.
After his friend and former opponent, boxer Apollo Creed, is mortally wounded by Soviet boxer Ivan Drago during a show fight, Rocky Balboa seeks revenge and engages in a rematch in Moscow. To compete with Ivan Drago, he retreats to a wooden hut in Siberia and trains in the icy desert.
After winning the title fight, Rocky Balboa is once again the world boxing champion and enjoys his popularity and wealth. Rocky, his family, and Rocky’s friend and former opponent Apollo Creed celebrate the birthday of Rocky’s brother-in-law, Paulie.
But then a Soviet delegation arrives in the United States with Russian boxer Ivan Drago to finish a fight against the world champion because “a victory over the world champion from the United States is good for the Soviet Union.” Drago, a silent giant with a body length of over 2 m, is a “fighting machine” packed with muscle. Nicoli Koloff, the leader of the delegation, demonstrates in a test that Drago’s fist breaks anything it hits.
Rocky agrees to the fight, but then lets Apollo Creed persuade him to fight the show instead of Rocky. On the one hand, Rocky owes him a favor because Creed trained him for the rematch against Clubber Lang. As an “aging star,” Creed also wants to enjoy the feeling of being in the boxing ring. Rocky gives in despite his concerns. But the exhibition fight ends fatally for Creed, as he stands no chance against Drago’s strength: after several difficult blows to the head, Creed goes down and dies still in the ring. Drago lakonically comments on his death with, “When he’s dead, he’s dead!” Rocky delivers the eulogy at Creed’s funeral.
Rocky wants to avenge Creed and the world beyond, and also show that Drago is not invincible. So he agrees to start another boxing match, albeit in Moscow and on the Russians’ terms. Supervised by Duke, he has undergone extensive training using traditional methods in a mountain hut in the snowy mountains of Russia, while Drago is trained and doped using the latest methods.
On the day of the fight, Rocky Balboa hits a wave of hatred in the sold-out arena. But the mood changes with every round Rocky goes through, and with every other blow, he finds himself with Drago. A tough fight erupts, in which the two boxers fight until they are completely abandoned and at full risk. In the second round, Rocky manages to impress his opponent with hard blows, and he can barely hold Drago in the sixth and eighth rounds. All the others in the first nine rounds are clearly to his detriment, and especially he can barely escape during the break. The fight is balanced from the tenth round onwards. After the fourteenth round, the struggling Drago is insulted by Koloff and demands to win, after which Drago Koloff pushes out of the ring and roars, fighting to win. Rocky actually does so in the fifteenth and final round: he knocks out the Russian fighter and wins the hearts of the Russian spectators who cheer him on and celebrate as the winner.
