Их жизнь — изнурительные тренировки перед грядущим сражением. Каждый раз, выходя на арену, они рискуют остаться здесь навсегда. Толпа приветствует могучих юношей, готовых развлекать их ради мимолетной славы. Но они — не гладиаторы в Древнем Риме. А дети некогда знаменитого бойца, который теперь полностью сконцентрирован на карьере своих четырёх сыновей. Рано или поздно они станут великими чемпионами, другого пути у них нет.

Documentary that chronicles the story of the Von Erich family, siblings and wrestlers who attained the heights of championship glory but who also struggled with despair, tragedy and suicide.

In 1983 World Class Championship Wrestling and its franchise stars, the Von Erich brothers, were known around the world. A small Dallas based promotion running out of a shack of a venue, the Sportatorium, World Class was one of the most syndicated television programs in America, making the Von Erichs household names. Run by legendary wrestler Fritz Von Erich, a.k.a. Jack Adkinsson, World Class made his oldest sons, Kevin, David and Kerry, three of hte biggest stars in the world of wrestling. Little did anyone know that just as the Von Erichs and World Class were reaching worldwide stardom they would begin a downfall that would cast a full eclipse on their meteoric rise to fame. Directed by Brian Harrison who, as a ten year old in 1983, watched on television as wrestling's world of staged combat between good and evil took a sharp turn into a surreal and tragic reality.
