The ChampOne of the most memorable and reflective movies ever made. If this movie doesn't make you cry, one could say that you don't have a heart.

Deutsch Erik Kernan will nie mehr dritter Sportreporter der Denver Times sein, will endlich in der Oberliga der Journalisten spielen. Seine Chance ist da, als er auf einen heruntergekommenen Penner trifft. Der alte Mann präsentiert sich ihm als "Battling Bob Satterfield", ein längst totgeglaubter Box-Champion, der den Entscheidungskampf aber verloren hat. Erik sieht sofort die große ergreifende Geschichte, die hinter dem Wrack steckt. Und kriegt die Titelseite! Endlich erregt er die Aufmerksamkeit, die er verdient. Doch dann werden Zweifel an der Story laut. Plötzlich muss Erik eine Entscheidung treffen, die ihm alles abverlangt. Seine Zukunft, sein ganzes Leben steht auf dem Spiel!
Français Quand un journaliste sportif, Erik Kernan, dont la carrière peine à décoller, sauve un sans-abri d'une bagarre avec un groupe de petits voyous, il réalise qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un homme ordinaire mais d'un ancien champion de boxe : Bob Satterfield. Ce qui devait être la résurrection d'un grand homme devient aussi l'opportunité pour Erik de réexaminer sa propre vie, sa relation avec son fils et avec sa femme dont il est séparé depuis peu.
Español Samuel L. Jackson da vida a un boxeador que, con el paso de los años, se ha convertido en un indigente. Por su camino se cruzará un periodista deportivo de poca monta (Josh Harnett), en busca del artículo que le catapulte a la fama: encontrará su oportunidad en la figura del campeón que ahora vive en la calle.
Italiano Il giornalista sportivo Erik Kernan salva un senza tetto dalla strada e scopre che si stratta di una leggenda della boxe, il mitico Battling Bob Satterfield, ormai creduto morto da tempo. Nel tentativo di aiutare l’ex pugile a risollevare la propria esistenza, Erik si troverà a fare i conti con se stesso, con la propria famiglia e in particolare col figlio piccolo.
Magyar Mikor a feltörekvő sportújságíró, Erik Kernan megment egy csövest az őt épp összeverni készülő balhés fiatalok bandájától, még fogalma sincs, voltaképp kivel hozta őt össze a sors. Nem ám egy egyszerű hajlesszel, hanem Champpel - azaz az egykor nagynevű bokszolóval, Bob Satterfielddel, akit mindenki rég halottnak hitt; és aki annak idején Jake "Dühöngő Bika" LaMottával is harcolt a szorítóban. Ami úgy kezdődik, mint egy címlapsztori, amivel "feltámaszt" egy valaha nagy embert, szép lassan átfordul egy hihetetlen (leginkább belső) utazásba; és esélyt ad Eriknek, hogy felülvizsgálja a saját életét, a kapcsolatát kisfiával és tőle nemrég elvált feleségével. Igen ám, de felmerül a gyanú: Champ mégsem az, akinek mondja magát...
Nederlands Erik is een jonge talentvolle sportjournalist die op een dag een dakloze man weet te redden. Deze dakloze blijkt echter Champ te zijn, een bokslegende van wie iedereen dacht dat hij was overleden. Erik ziet zijn kans schoon om het echte verhaal over de Champ te schrijven wat tevens leidt tot een persoonlijke reflectie op zijn eigen leven.

Взявшись поведать миру сенсационную историю о человеке-легенде, Эрик в то же время начинает переосмысливать собственную жизнь: отношения с сыном и женой, с которой он недавно расстался…

Ο δαιμόνιος νεαρός δημοσιογράφος, αναλαμβάνει να βγάλει τον πρωταθλητή από την αφάνεια και να τον επαναφέρει στο προσκήνιο, κερδίζοντας ταυτόχρονα και την προσωπική του καταξίωση απέναντι στο επικριτικό βλέμμα του πατέρα του.

Český Život sportovního redaktora Erika Kermana (Josh Hartnett) lze přirovnat k napínavému zápasu - rychlý rozjezd, mnoho překvapivých zvratů a dramatický závěr. Jednoho dne se však rozhlédne a zjišťuje, že byl ze středu dění postupně vykázán na střídačku. Záchrana přichází jako blesk z čistého nebe. Jeho příběh na titulní stranu se mu začíná rýsovat před očima…Erik věří, že našel zapomenutou boxerskou legendu Roberta Satterfielda (Samuel L. Jackson),o kterém si všichni myslí, že je mrtev. Strhující příběh „šampióna“, který skončil na ulici, vynáší jeho pohasínající hvězdu na výsluní. Bohužel je jen otázkou času, kdy se ukáže, že jeho touha vystoupit ze stínu úspěšného otce, byla silnější než snaha ověřit si fakta. Z honu za úspěchem se stává osobní výprava, kde je zkoušce podroben reportérův vztah k rodině i jeho životní priority.
한국어/조선말 오늘도 자신이 쓴 글을 편집당하며 좌절에 빠진 스포츠 기자 에릭(조쉬 하트넷). 명캐스터였던 아버지와 잘나가는 동료기자인 아내의 그늘에 가린 채 점점 자신감을 잃어가고 있다. 돌파구를 찾던 에릭은 우연히 길거리의 한 노숙자(사무엘 L.잭슨)를 돕는데, 그 노숙자는 자신을 그동안 죽은 것으로 알려진 50년대 전설의 권투챔피언 ‘밥 새터필드’ 라고 주장한다. 특종을 예감한 에릭은 새터필드와 점차 가까워지고 그의 파란만장한 권투인생을 기사화해 대박을 터뜨린다. 드디어 6살 난 아들에게도 자랑스런 아버지가 된 에릭. 그러나 진짜 새터필드는 이미 사망했다는 제보가 여기저기에서 들어오면서 기사의 진실성에 의심을 받고 사랑하는 아들에게도 뜻하지 않게 거짓말쟁이가 되는데.. 과연 그가 알던 새터필드 에게서 듣게 되는 놀라운 진실은?
български език Историята е по статия "Да възкресиш шампиона" на Дж.Р.Моринджър, която се появява в сп. "Лос Анджелис Таймс" през 1997 и се отнася за Боб Сатърфийлд. Разликата от филма е, че Моринджър няма деца, баща му не е известен, но изоставя семейството си...Човекът, пръв "заподозрял" идентичността на "шампиона" е Ърни Терел - състезател по бокс от тежка категория, известен с жестока загуба от Мохамед Али, след като си позволил да се обърне към него, вместо с новото, със старото му славно име - Касиус Клей. Млад журналист помага на бездомен мъж, за да разбере, че е срещнал "Шампиона" - стара боксова легенда, който отдавна се смята за починал. Виждайки в случая сензация, която би могла да го изстреля в кариерата, репортерът "хваща шанса", който обаче се оказва с различни лица.

Beginning before the Nativity and extending though the Crucifixion and Resurrection, "Jesus of Nazareth" brings to life all the majesty and sweeping drama of the life of Jesus (portrayed here by Robert Powell) as told in the Gospels. A star-studded cast featuring Michael York, Sir Laurence Olivier, James Earl Jones, Anne Bancroft, Olivia Hussey, Rod Steiger and Anthony Quinn, adds depth and humanity to the roles of the saints, sinners and ordinary people who walked in the footsteps of the Lord. The film provides the setting and background for the birth, childhood, baptism, teaching, and many miracles of the Messiah, culminating in the Divine Resurrection. Directed by Oscar(R) nominee Franco Zeffirelli ("Romeo&Juliet", "The Champ", "Jane Eyre", "Endless Love") and acclaimed by critics and religious leaders worldwide, "Jesus of Nazareth" tells the greatest of all stories with tremendous emotion and splendor.
Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of director Franco Zeffirelli’s Oscar winning adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tale of romance and tragedy. This critically acclaimed movie features Olivia Hussey as Juliet and Leonard Whiting as Romeo, two star-crossed lovers forbidden by their families to follow their hearts. It is widely considered to be the greatest love story of all time.
St. Francis of Assisi was an extraordinarily complex and difficult figure whose effect on his contemporary society was electrifying. Even today, many people are moved by his visionary message of universal toleration. Twelfth-century Italy had an exceptionally grim and regimented society, but the barefoot monk from Assisi undoubtedly had the courage that comes from deep faith and was able to transcend the oppressiveness of the time. In this Italian/British-produced film, director Franco Zeffirelli attempts to bring his vision of this great man to the screen. The contemporary (1970s) example of the hippie movement contributed a great deal to the style in which the story is told. The musical score, using ancient Italian melodies, was arranged by Donovan. The film is visually beautiful in a way which tends to minimize the squalor of the times. As the movie begins, Francis (Graham Faulkner) is the son of wealthy merchants, and enjoys his share of wine, women and song without serious thought. When war and disease devastate his neighborhood, Francis undergoes an anguished transformation which culminates in his appearing before the local bishop and removing his clothes to renounce his previous life and family before dedicating himself to God. The culminating dramatic moment is Francis' appearance before Pope Innocent III (Sir Alec Guinness), to make his case for an independent religious order under new rules.
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton sparkle and amuse as Katharina and Petruchio in William Shakespearea's comic look at male chauvinism and women's lib in the 16th century. Petruchio, a poverty-stricken gentleman from Verona, journeys to Padua in search of a wealthy wife. There, he encounters the fiery Katharina, a self-willed shrew who leads Petruchio on a merry chase before he successfully circumvents her attempts to avoid marriage. Their honeymoon becomes a humorous battle of wit and insult with Kate as determined to maintain her independence as Petruchio is to "tame" her. When the embattled couple returns to Padua, Kate helps Petruchio win a wager that his is the most obedient of wives. But in reality, the shrewish Kate has found a more effective way to dominate her mate.
