Foxcatcher
2014 · Director: Bennett Miller · US
What it is about
Billionaire John du Pont builds a wrestling team on his estate, and his relationship with the Schultz brothers ends in tragedy.
The fighting in it
A true case. Mark and Dave Schultz were Olympic freestyle champions, and the training scenes match real wrestling preparation — strain and exhaustion rather than action choreography.
