A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech, "Real Steel" stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
The Dreamworks flick is being directed by Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum" franchise and "Date Night") and is due out in theaters in November of this year.
The film also stars Anthony Mackie, Evangeline Lilly, Dakota Goyo and Kevin Durand.
The film just premiered in Munich, and Jackman was there for the big event. BroadwayWorld brings you a look at the premiere below!
