"The Fighter" is a drama about boxer Irish Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg) and his unlikely path to become world lightweight champion. Brad Pitt plays Dicky Eklund, Mickey's half-brother and a talented fighter who once went the distance with Sugar Ray Leonard in a title fight but then turned to crime and landed in prison. Then he turned his life around and helped his underperforming brother find the spark for a remarkable run that led to the world title.
