Rocky Is Not Fighting To Win! He Is Fighting To Prove He Belongs! Jackie Bonsignore & Aaron Alexander watch Rocky (1976) for the first time as the Best Picture winner celebrates its 50th anniversary! Sylvester Stallone’s iconic underdog story follows struggling Philadelphia boxer Rocky Balboa after heavyweight champion Apollo Creed unexpectedly gives him a shot at the title.
