East meets West when Rocky takes on a vicious Soviet fighter who literally killed his last opponent! Sylvester Stallone writes, directs and stars in this war between nations, in which the only battle is fought in a boxing ring. Rocky Balboa (Stallone) proudly holds the world heavyweight boxing championship, but a new challenger has stepped forward: Drago (Dolph Lundgren), a six-foot-four, 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union. This time, Rocky's training regimen takes him to icy Siberia, where he prepares for a globally televised match in the heart of Moscow. But nothing can truly prepare him for what he's about to face - a powerfully charged fight to the finish, in which he must defend not only himself, but also the honor of his country!

Sylvester Stallone takes on the Cold War in this fourth Rocky installment, as the titular hero must come out of retirement to battle a gargantuan Soviet fighter named Drago (Dolph Lundgren), who brutally punished Rocky's friend and former rival, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Seeking revenge in the name of his fallen comrade and his country, Rocky agrees to fight Drago in Moscow on Christmas, and the bout changes both fighters -- and the world.

Rocky Balboa (Stallone) accompanies his friend Apollo Creed (Weathers) to the rings in a boxing match against a Russian Boxers named Ivan Drago (Lundgren).
