Jennifer Lopez is back—this time trading her sparkly stilettos for wrestling mats in the Unstoppable trailer! And no, she’s not here to perform a halftime show; she’s here to body-slam your heartstrings into submission.
At the tender age of 55 (but looking like she’s drinking from the same fountain of youth as Pharrell), J.Lo stars as Judy, a ride-or-die mom with the kind of resolve that makes Rocky Balboa look like a quitter. Her son, Anthony, played by Jharrel Jerome, is born with one leg and a whole lot of grit. The movie is based on the true story of Anthony Robles, a guy who basically decided that having one leg wasn’t going to stop him from suplexing life—and his opponents—into oblivion.
What’s the Plot?
Picture this: Anthony’s born with one leg. Most people would think, “Well, maybe wrestling isn’t for me,” but Anthony? Nah, this guy looks adversity in the face and goes, “Hold my protein shake.” With the unwavering support of his mom Judy (J.Lo, obviously, who probably made empanadas between takes), and some seriously motivated coaches, Anthony battles his way onto the Arizona State Wrestling team.
Spoiler alert: This isn’t just some feel-good movie where he almost makes it. This guy goes full beast mode and aims for the NCAA Championship. We’re talking blood, sweat, and tears—but mostly sweat, because, well, wrestling.
And Who Else Is Here?
Oh, just a few other legends, no biggie. Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle join the roster, alongside Anthony Robles himself. That’s right, the man, the myth, the legend said, “You know what, let me just cameo in this masterpiece about me.”
Also, fun fact: J.Lo’s estranged-but-still-producing-things-for-her husband, Ben Affleck, is listed as a producer. Honestly, if they can co-parent a movie, maybe there’s hope for humanity after all.
