SYNOPSIS:

Rocketman is a coming of age tragic crime drama that blends the underworld realism of The Fighter, with the raw brotherhood and ambition of Warrior.

Two orphaned brothers reunite after spending their childhood in the flawed and corrupt foster care system. Michael, now 25, is an exceptionally talented boxer destined for greatness, but his self-destructive tendencies derail his promising career. Left to care for his younger brother, Jonathan, an innocent and impressionable 17-year-old born with a mysterious adrenal condition that gives him seemingly superhuman strength and agility in fight-or-flight situations, Michael sees an opportunity to escape poverty by making some quick cash after entering Jonathan into the underground street fighting circuit. With Michael's guidance, Jonathan quickly ascends through the ranks of the fighting world like a young Mike Tyson. But, as Jonathan's health rapidly deteriorates, it becomes clear that the mysterious condition that made him so special will soon end his life. Michael, haunted by the trauma of his early childhood, must confront his inner demons if he is ever to reach his full potential.
