“during the great depression, james j. braddock–a.k.a. the cinderella man–was to become one of the most surprising sports legends in history. by the early 1930s, the impoverished ex-prizefighter was seemingly as broken-down, beaten-up and out-of-luck as much of the rest of the american populace who had hit rock bottom.

suddenly thrust into the national spotlight, he would defy the odds against him and stun the world with one of the greatest comebacks in history. driven by love for his family, he willed an impossible dream to come true.”
