If you win, you win. If you lose, you still win. There's no way you can lose.

Robert De Niro stars in Martin Scorsese's biopic of boxing champion Jake LaMotta. Nominated for eight Academy Awards, Scorsese's seminal masterpiece also stars Joe Pesci, Cathy Moriarty, Theresa Saldana, Frank Vincent, and Nicholas Colasanto. Jake LaMotta was the middleweight boxing champion known as The Bronx Bull and The Raging Bull during his brief reign. LaMotta had early lessons in life: to steal and to fight. He channelled his tough childhood into the ring, where his aggression became a way of combating deep-seated anxieties and emotional fears. This determination and rage turned him from a young hoodlum into a champion. But his drive for the title, his brutality outside of the ring and his almost-psychotic sexual jealousy will destroy his marriage, his deepest friendships and the career he fought to build.
