A still from Unstoppable (Amazon MGM Studios)

Adapted from the book Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion by Robles and Austin Murphy, the movie chronicles the former’s trials and tribulations before he became the undisputed wrestling champion.

Born without a leg and brought up in an abusive household, Robles defied all odds to become an NCAA Division I wrestler, ultimately winning a national championship against the school that rejected him.

Amazon’s Unstoppable marks the directorial debut of William Goldenberg, the Oscar-winning (Argo) editor. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon of Artists Equity serve as producers, alongside Nuyorican Productions’ Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas; Coonskin Cap’s David Crockett; A Really Good Home Pictures’ Andy Fraser; Gary Lewis; and Robles.
