Follow the remarkable life and times of Foreman, from Olympic Gold medalist to World Heavyweight champion, from the Rumble in the Jungle fight with Muhammad Ali in Zaire to finding his faith, retiring, and becoming a preacher. When financial hardship hits his family and church, he steps back into the ring and regains the championship at age 45, becoming the oldest heavyweight champion in boxing history. From a poverty-stricken upbringing to rising as a promising young boxer, George Foreman's journey is a testament to resilience.

At the age of 45, he embarks on an awe-inspiring comeback, ultimately reclaiming the coveted championship title. Witness the extraordinary life and indomitable spirit of George Foreman as he defies expectations, redefines limits, and solidifies his legacy as a boxing icon. — Frank Liesenborgs Based on the remarkable true story of one of the greatest comebacks of all time and the transformational power of second chances.
