The Iron Claw trailer teases the story of Fritz Von Erich (Holt McCallany), a prominent wrestler from the 60s era.

As his sons, Kevin (Zac Efron) and David (Harris Dickinson), reached a certain age, Fritz introduced them to the wrestling ring, extending his coaching to include Mike (Stanley Simons) as well.

Kerry (Jeremy Allen White), who was the youngest sibling, on the other hand, found his way to wrestling when his aspirations for the 1980 Olympics were thwarted by the US boycott.

Director Sean Durkin believes ‘The Iron Claw’ is not about grief and pain, it is about the absence of grief and what can happen when people refuse to look at their pain.

Talking about the film’s inspiration, director Sean Durkin said, “Drawing on the tradition of films that explore the tightrope of glory, loss, and American masculinity, I’ve been inspired by Raging Bull and The Deer Hunter. The Iron Claw is a movie about family, fathers and sons, and brothers. It is about finding love and learning to love yourself for who you are. It is about battling against this narrow idea of what makes a man.

He added, “It is about chasing glory and the illusions of success. It is about generational strife and questioning the lens through which we are conditioned to see the world in order to find a hopeful new future. The Iron Claw is a celebration of self-discovery, camaraderie, brotherhood, and the glory days of territorial wrestling in the US of A.”

The Iron Claw will release in India on February 9.
