AMERICAN FIGHTER is a high-octane, edge-of-your-seat sport thriller based on a true story of illicit wrestling in 1980's California. Packed with charismatic performances, American Fighter has gritty, excellently choreographed fight scenes reminiscent of action classics Rocky, Lionheart and The Karate Kid.
We follow desperate teenager Ali Jahani who escapes Iran after the hostage crisis and fights his way through the dangerous world of underground fighting to win money to save his ailing mother. He finds out what he's made of in the face of these violent hungry competitors.
The tense fight thriller stars Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy), Sean Patrick Flanery (Powder, Dexter), Christina Moore (True Blood) and introducing newcomer George Kosturos as Ali Jahani.
Signature Entertainment presents American Fighter on Digital HD from July 20th.
