SYNOPSIS

Jackie Kallen isn't fighting for glory. She's fighting for respect. Inspired by a true story, Against The Ropes stars Meg Ryan as Kallen, a sassy, brassy boxing manager-in-the-making determined to change "Lethal" Luther Shaw (Epps) from a mere street punk into a world-class prizefighter. It's not about how far you fall. It's about how hard you fight back.
