Rocky IV movie

When Apollo Creed is killed in a match against a powerful Soviet boxer, Rocky decides to challenge him himself.

MGM/UA Entertainment Co. Rocky Balboa (played again by Sylvester Stallone), has said he plans to retire from boxing after recovering his title from Clubber Lang in Rocky III. A new sensation from the Soviet Union, Ivan Drago (played by Dolph Lundgren), however, begins to emerge as a top contender.PlotFollowing his win over Clubber Lang in New York City, Rocky returns home to Philadelphia.

Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), an intimidating Soviet boxer, arrives in America to challenge the best American fighters. Apollo Creed, motivated by patriotism and a desire to prove himself after retirement, quickly jumps at the chance to step back into the ring in an exhibition bout against Drago. Despite apprehension from Rocky, who eventually agrees to help train him, Apollo sets the match between himself and Drago in Las Vegas. With Rocky in his corner, Apollo flamboyantly makes his way to the ring with a bigger show than when he first fought Rocky, which includes fireworks, James Brown performing "Living in America", and a patriotic theme, including a crowd implacably hostile to the visiting Soviet boxer. The match turns into a tragedy, however, as Creed is killed in the second round, after Rocky, implored by Creed, refuses to throw in the towel and stop the match.Feeling grief over not stopping the fight, and incensed by Dragos cold indifference to killing Apollo, "If he dies, he dies", Rocky decides he must avenge Apollos death and sets a match with the Russian. The match is set for Christmas Day, in Moscow, but Rockys title is not on the line because the boxing commission refuses to sanction the fight.
