Synopsis
Rocky Balboa holds the world heavyweight championship, but a new challenger has stepped forward: Drago, a six-foot-four, 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union. This time, Rocky's training regimen takes him to Siberia, where he prepares for a globally televised match in the heart of Moscow. But nothing can truly prepare him for what he's about to face – a fight to the finish, in which he must defend not only himself, but also the honor of his country!

Viewers generally appreciate 'Rocky IV' for its dramatic portrayal of the Cold War tensions through the lens of a boxing match. The film is celebrated for its iconic antagonist, Drago, and its significant cultural impact, symbolizing American ideology. However, some find the plot somewhat rushed and less nuanced compared to its predecessors, with the final match feeling predictable and the political message overtly simplistic.
