Rocky Movie Poster Black and White

The Rocky movie poster features that iconic scene at the top of those 72 stone steps before the entrance of the Museum of Art, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Rocky is shown with arms in the air in a triumphant stance. ''His whole life was a million-to-one shot.'' From that famous scene, those steps have become known as the "Rocky Steps" This large sized black and white print is made from heavy gauge stock and measures 24 x 36 inches.

Rocky tells the rags to riches American Dream story of Rocky Balboa, an uneducated but kind-hearted working class Italian-American boxer, who was working as a debt collector for a loan shark in the slums of Philadelphia. Also a small-time club fighter, Rocky gets a shot at the world heavyweight championship. Rocky was made on a budget of just over $1 million and was a sleeper hit that earned $225 million in global box office receipts, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1976. The film was critically acclaimed and solidified Sylvester Stallone’s career as well as commenced his rise to prominence as a major movie star. Rocky is considered to be one of the greatest sports films ever made and was ranked as the second-best in the genre, after Raging Bull, by the American Film Institute in 2008.
