‘Real Steel’, a white-knuckle action ride set in the near-future, introduces Charlie Kenton - a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over from human fighters.
In a boxing world where robots rule the ring, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son to build and train a championship contender. ‘Real Steel’ gets us a ringside seat as the stakes in the no-holds-barred arena are raised, and Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
Contains moderate language and violence.

Real Steel or Rocky with Robots!
Probably more suited to a younger audiance but it's not bad.
Awesome!!
Hugh Jackman, as always, is amazing and plays his part as the Charlie, the father brilliantly!! and Dakota Goyo, who plays Max, his son, plays him incredibly, he is an awesome actor for his age, he's awesome.
The film is not your typical cliché Hollywood, it has that bit more, it has a sparkle that a lot of films in recent years haven't had.
You will find yourself secretly cheering for their Robot, Atom, in the final scene. AWESOME!! Go see it ;)
Fantastic
