THE WRESTLER
Back in the late Eighties, Randy «The Ram» Robinson was a headlining professional wrestler. Now, twenty years later, he ekes out a living performing for handfuls of diehard wrestling fans in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey. Estranged from his daughter and unable to sustain any real relationships, Randy lives for the thrill of the show and the adoration of his fans. However, a heart attack forces him into retirement. As his sense of identity starts to slip away, he begins to evaluate the state of his life - trying to reconnect with his daughter, and strikes up a blossoming romance with an aging stripper. Yet all this cannot compare to the allure of the ring and passion for his art, which threatens to pull Randy «The Ram» back into his world of wrestling.
