Anthony Robles has an incredible story that could easily be turned into a movie. Born with only one leg, he faced many challenges, but he never let that stop him from becoming a champion wrestler. Many coaches at well-known wrestling programs didn’t see his potential, but Anthony was determined to prove them wrong. He was supported by his mother, Judy, who believed in him wholeheartedly.

The movie about Anthony's life is called “Unstoppable.” It will be shown in theaters briefly before becoming available for streaming on Prime Video in January. Directed by William Goldenberg, who won an Oscar for editing the film “Argo,” this is his first time directing a feature film. “Unstoppable” promises to be an exciting sports drama that will inspire viewers both in theaters and while watching from home. With Jharrel Jerome playing the lead role, audiences will likely feel every thrill and challenge that Anthony faces.

The film starts at the end of Anthony's high school years. He chose not to use a prosthetic leg and is confident in his own skin. Wrestling became his sport, and he joked that it was the only sport where his opponent couldn’t run away from him! While Anthony was winning matches in high school, top college wrestling programs were hesitant to recruit him. The best offer he received was from Drexel University, but unexpected problems at home led him to try out for Arizona State University, where he needed to prove himself to a coach who had advised him to look elsewhere.

Judy, played by Jennifer Lopez, is a key figure in Anthony’s life. She became a mother at just 16 years old and now has a family with her husband, Rick, played by Bobby Cannavale. However, Rick's character is not very supportive and often seems to make things harder for Anthony and Judy. While the film focuses heavily on Anthony's struggles in wrestling, it also highlights Judy's achievements, especially in a powerful moment towards the end.

The best parts of “Unstoppable” show Anthony’s rigorous training, tough matches, and the strong relationships he builds with his coaches. Despite facing many obstacles, Anthony’s journey proves that determination and support can help anyone overcome adversity. Let’s hope this movie is just the beginning of many more roles for Jharrel Jerome!
