When the boundaries of their combat zone extend from the ring to the streets of Miami, Max and Jesus fight to dominate. One is a promising amateur following in the footsteps of his legendary father, and the other a poverty-stricken kid from the wrong side of the tracks. What holds more weight, the pressure of success or the fear of failure? One of them is destined to rise to the top… the one who survives.

An unemployed reporter promotes a fighter for syndicate, and through devious means gets him a title bout. Reporter, feeling remorse, does an expose on fight racket. One of the most scathing indictments of professional boxing ever committed to film, based on the novel by Budd Schulberg.
