Unstoppable: The Film Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival
Anthony Robles, the inspirational figure who overcame incredible odds to become the best 125-pound wrestler in the country, is now the subject of the film “Unstoppable.” The movie is set to premiere at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival, and the buzz surrounding it is palpable.
Robles, who was born without his right leg, captured the NCAA wrestling national title in a moment that transcended sports and showcased his remarkable determination. Despite his incredible achievements, Robles remains humble, focusing more on finding a job than on the spotlight Hollywood might bring.
Directed by William Goldenberg and featuring a star-studded cast including Jharrel Jerome, Jennifer Lopez, Don Cheadle, Michael Peña, and Bobby Cannavale, “Unstoppable” is not your typical sports drama. Instead of a single defining challenge, the film chronicles Robles’ ongoing battle against adversity, both on and off the wrestling mat.
One of the most unique aspects of the film is the collaboration between Robles and Jerome. Not only does Robles serve as a producer on the project, but he also doubles as Jerome’s stunt double for the wrestling scenes. Their bond extended beyond the camera, with Jerome immersing himself in Robles’ world to accurately portray his resilience and poise.
For Robles, the film is more than just a movie—it’s a part of his legacy. He hopes to share it with his son one day, passing on the lessons of strength, faith, and determination that his mother instilled in him from a young age.
As Robles reflects on his journey and the impact of “Unstoppable,” he embraces a sense of completion, feeling blessed to have come this far without ever giving up the fight.
