Klubbokseren Rocky fra Philadelphia har ikke videre succes. Men skæbnen vil, at verdensmesteren i sværvægt Apollo Creed udvælger ham som sin næste modstander. For Creed er kampen endnu en opvisningskamp - men for Rocky er det måske hans livs chance. Mens han forbereder sig under kyndig opsyn af sin træner, kærester han med Adrian, en ung genert kvinde, som finder den følsomme side under hans hårde facade. Deres kærlighed blomstrer, og som kampen nærmer sig, styrkes Rocky i troen på, at han kan stå distancen mod den hårde modstander...

Efter at Rocky er vendt hjem fra sin seneste triumf, opdager han, at alle hans penge er tabt af hans skruppelløse finansrådgiver. For at gøre det hele værre tvinger en kampskade Rocky til at stoppe karrieren. Så Rocky, hans kone Adrian og sønnen Rocky jr. flytter til en billig lejlighed. Der må Rocky prøve at løsne op for den vrede hans søn går rundt med. En bitterhed der vokser, da Rocky begynder at træne en ung talentfuld bokser Tommy Gunn, som hurtigt bliver landskendt. Men Tommy vender sig mod sin læremester - og Rocky bliver snart klar over, at han er nødt til at kæmpe endnu en gang...

Rocky Balboa nyder sin rigdom og sin status som bokseverdensmester og gør, hvad kan, for at bevare begge dele ved kun at stille op mod lette modstandere.

Kun hans gamle ven og tidligere verdensmester Apollo Creed tror stadig på ham og hjælper med at bringe Rocky tilbage i topform.

Britiske James Hunt og østrigske Niki Lauda er to af 1970'ernes største formel 1-stjerner. Hunt er en flot, fræk playboy, der ofte tager chancer bag rattet i sin McLaren. Den metodiske og asociale Lauda kører derimod sin Ferrari med næsten klinisk præcision. Deres vidt forskellige temperamenter bidrager til spændingen, når de to indædte rivaler mødes igen og igen på verdens racerbaner.

Efter klubbokseren Rocky Balboas sejr over Apollo Creed, mødes han overalt af kravet om en revanchekamp. Men Rocky plages af sine kvæstelser, og er fast besluttet på at trække sig tilbage. Han koncentrerer sig i stedet om sit forhold til Adrian. De gifter sig, og han gør sit bedste for at slå sig ned som familie menneske. Men i sit forsøg på at skabe et nyt liv, opdager Rocky, at han ikke kan flygte fra sin rigtige identitet. Ringen kalder endnu en gang, og "Den Italienske Hingst" må forberede sig på sit livs kamp...

Den tidligere mesterbokser Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) lever et stille liv og driver en lille restaurant, da han bliver tilbudt en showkamp mod den nuværende sværvægtsmester Mason 'The Line' Dixon. Selvom Rocky er gået på pension, er han forsat med at bokse på amatørniveau, og da han længes mod fortidens berømmelse og sejre, siger han ja til kampen. Han tager udfordringen meget seriøst og begynder et intensivt træningsprogram. En gammel mesterbokser kan da umuligt være nogen værdig modstander for nutidens mester - eller kan han? Den sjette film, hvor Stallone spiller den stædige bokser Rocky Balboa. Stallone har også selv skrevet og instrueret filmen, der fik hele fem stjerner i BT.

Kan man forstille sig et bedre sted at starte en dokumentarfilm om surfing end Antarktis? Ikke hvis vi taler om surfende pingviner (og en enkelt kylling). Her møder vi i hvert fald Cody Maverick, der er træt af sit job som fiskesorterer, træt af at blive mobbet af sin storebror, træt af ikke at blive respekteret som det, han er: Verdens bedste surfer. Nu viser chancen sig endelig for at efterligne hans store idol Big Z og tage til surf-mesterskabet på Hawaii. Her møder han andre håbefulde unge surf-pingviner (og en enkelt kylling), der vil tage kampen op mod den regerende og temmelig usympatiske mester, Tank. Men Cody har meget at lære endnu. Om livet, om pigerne – især livredderen Lani – og om surfing. Tilfældet vil, at han støder ind i den udkoksede ekssurfer Geek, som måske kan vise ham vejen. Så er spørgsmålet bare, om han når det, inden det skal afgøres på bølgetoppen, hvem der er den bedste pingvin.
