“Anthony Robles, despite being born without a right leg, rises to become a NCAA Division 1 Champion wrestler ultimately winning a national championship against the school that rejected him, national powerhouse Iowa,” the film’s official synopsis reads.

‘Unstoppable’ was produced by Lopez’s husband Ben Affleck via the production company he shares with Matt Damon, Artists Equity. Robles also served as a producer on the movie and worked as Jerome’s stunt double, performing the complex wrestling moves.

The film is William Goldenberg’s directorial debut. He has previously won an Academy Award for his work as an editor on 2013’s Argo, as well as scored Oscar nominations for The Imitation Game, Zero Dark Thirty, Seabiscuit and The Insider.

The biopic, based on Robles and Murphy’s book ‘Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion’, is set to make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Then it will hit select theatres in December, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
