Skip it unless you're specifically hunting for campy '80s nostalgia—this Sylvester Stallone arm-wrestling epic is aggressively silly and dramatically inert, even by the loose standards of action-drama hybrids. It's the kind of movie that's fun to mock with friends, not genuinely entertaining to watch solo tonight.

Plot

Lincoln Hawk a hard-luck big-rig trucker takes us under the glaring Las Vegas lights for all the boisterous action of the World Armwrestling Championship. Relying on wits and willpower, Hawk tries to rebuild his life by capturing the first-place prize money, and the love of the son he abandoned years earlier into the keeping of his rich, ruthless father-in-law.
