Creed

Your legacy is more than a name

The latest episode in the long-runng Rocky saga introduces a new generation, in the form of Adonis Johnson, son of Rocky's opponent Apollo Creed, who died before he was born. Boxing is in the son's blood too, so he tracks down Rocky and asks him to be his trainer. Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo. Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.
