Erik Kernan(Josh Hartnett)living in his father's shadow is rough. He is separated from his successful wife(Kathryn Morris)and his job is on the ropes. Erik is a sportswriter assigned to boxing events and his editor(Alan Alda)thinks his work is forgettable. By chance Erik comes to the rescue of a homeless man that calls himself the Champ(Samuel L. Jackson). The Champ is living in an alley and professes to be fabled boxer Robert Satterfield. Kernan sees this as a way help each others situations by writing the Champ's story. When some glory is in sight, the lights go out. The Champ is not the man he claims to be. Jackson gives possibly his best performance since PULP FICTION. Also in the cast: Teri Hatcher, Peter Coyote, Nick Sandow and Harry J. Lennix.
