Unstoppable: Where to Find the Must-Watch Inspiring Sports Biopic

Jharrel Jerome plays underdog turned hometown hero Anthony Robles in the wrestling sports drama Unstoppable. Born without a right leg, the thought of becoming an athlete – an aspiration that requires a strong, proper physique – seemed near impossible. Yet, as a young boy, Robles decides to not let his disability define him. Holding his dreams tight, Robles signed up to be a part of his school's wrestling team, steadily working his way up to the ranks and attracting the public's attention (and some very curious coaches). A story of hope, determination, and hard work, Unstoppable retells Roble’s long journey to becoming the celebrated, ESPY-award-winning wrestler he is today.

Unstoppable marks the directorial debut of William Goldenberg, the Academy Award-winning editor behind projects like Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, and The Imitation Game. Also starring Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Anthony Robles with Don Cheadle, and Jennifer Lopez, here’s where audiences can watch Unstoppable on streaming.

“Unstoppable is the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome) who was born with one leg but whose indomitable spirit and unbreakable resolve empowered him to defy the odds and pursue his dreams. With the unwavering love and support of his devoted mother Judy (Jennifer Lopez) and the encouragement of his coaches, Anthony fights through adversity to earn a spot on the Arizona State Wrestling team. But it will demand everything he has, physically and mentally, to achieve his ultimate quest to become an NCAA Champion.”

Robles isn’t built like the other wrestlers. When his mother Judy Robles gave birth to him at just the tender age of 16, little did she expect that her son would be born without a right leg. As the young boy grows up to be a teen, Robles would later on find his purpose in life. Joining the sport at 14 as “the worst wrestler” on the team, the underdog would slowly, but surely, prove that he packs more bite than bark. From placing last in the city, Robles turned the tables during his junior and senior years at Mesa High School as a 2-time Arizona State Champion and a high school National Champion. Robles is also the recipient of two awards at the 2011 ESPYS, an annual event that celebrates athletic achievements.

Unstoppable goes beyond Robles’ many accolades – it is also about the family, coaches, and support systems who gave the budding athlete a chance to compete. In a conversation with Collider’s Steve Weintraub at the Toronto International Film Festival, director Goldenberg describes the general premise of the sports drama.

"It’s a story about overcoming incredible obstacles and a story about a mother and son and somebody who perseveres without fail and never takes no for an answer."

Other Professional Wrestling Movies Like 'Unstoppable' You Can Watch Now

‘The Iron Claw’ (2023)

A heart-wrenching story of one of America’s most historical wrestling legacies, The Iron Claw follows the rise of the Von Erich family before its spiraling downfall. Head patriarch and former wrestler Fritz Von Erich (Holt McCallany) only has one purpose in life: to watch his sons dominate their rivals and the squared ring. Siblings Kevin (Zac Efron), Kerry (Jeremy Allen White), and David Von Erich (Harris Dickinson ) have proven time over time that they’re the undefeated champs of wrestling. Yet, despite their triumphs, the three children slowly crack amidst the mounting pressures from their rivals, the mental toll from their father, and the “Von Erich curse” that has haunted their family for years. The Iron Claw may not be easily digestible for those who are used to inspiring wrestling flicks, but it is an important movie that shows how even the most strongest and muscular men are not immune to being vulnerable.

‘The Peanut Butter Falcon’ (2019)

With a whimsical charge that’s reminiscent of Mark Twain’s stories, The Peanut Butter Falcon follows the story of Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a young man with Down Syndrome who happens to be a massive wrestling fan. With the help of his many elderly residents, Zak escapes his nursing home with the hopes of meeting his favorite wrestler Saltwater Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). Along the way, he encounters fellow runaway Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), the latter dumbfounded by Zak’s impulsiveness but impressed by his genuine passion for the sport. Striking up an unlikely friendship, the two accompany each other as they go on about their respective paths. The Peanut Butter Falcon is one of those movies where it’s about the journey, not the destination, showing that there’s beauty in the long distances, the unexpected obstacles, and finding companionship in the oddest of places.

‘Cassandro’ (2023)

In a sport that’s often associated with hypermasculinity and over-competitiveness, Cassandro seeks to break the traditional notions of wrestling by focusing on athletes of the LGBTQ+ community. Gay amateur wrestler Saúl “Cassandro” Armendáriz (Gael Garcia Bernal) leaves his home of El Paso and climbs up the ranks as an exotico luchador famous within the South American circuits and later on becomes a global sensation. Cassandro doesn’t just offer stylish-ly choreographed jabs, kicks, and jumps in the ring, but also presents a more humane, and rather intimate look into the emotional and physical tolls it takes to build a wrestling alter ego that doesn’t fit the typical macho mold.

Amal Clooney Wore Optical Illusion Jeans Cosigned by Jennifer Lopez—Fall-Ready Styles Start at $44

My list of must-try jean trends for 2026 is growing; it currently includes all the silhouettes one denim expert revealed to me as the must-watch of the year (save for baggy jeans, because I’ve been wearing those for years). That said, one style that didn’t land on said aforementioned list, but is clearly due for big, big things this year, is flare jeans. With a growing list of celebrity fans that includes Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Kendrick Lamar (you know that moment), and, of course, Amal Clooney, there’s no denying the retro denim style that was popular in the early aughts is back—and bigger than ever.

The fact that Clooney wore flared jeans is noteworthy in and of itself. The human rights lawyer is known for her refined dressing approach, regularly opting for billowy trousers, trendy boho blouses, and comfy sweater dresses—all staples that read elegant and timeless. So, when I spotted her earlier this year in the laid-back blues while out to dinner with hubby George Clooney, I knew I had to write about it. Of course, the fact that she wore flare jeans, the style countless celebs have worn the last few weeks, is noteworthy, too, as it further cements the style’s ‘It’ status for 2026.

Clooney opted for a pair of medium-wash jeans with subtle fading (another Y2K reference, IMO). Her blues had an ultra-high waist—so high, in fact, that they appeared to hit at the ribcage. It’s the complete opposite of the controversial low-rise denim, so it’s a possible sign that the high-high waist is coming back, too. Not to mention, Clooney’s jeans had a slightly oversized fit from the thighs to the ankles, but it’s that flared hem that has all my attention; it’s taking me back to my middle school days when I’d wear my True Religion flares every single day. (No joke.)

It’s undeniable that Clooney’s jeans have that nostalgic flair (ahem, flare, wink, wink), but it’s also undeniable that celebs are clamoring to the style because it’s incredibly flattering. The blues basically act like an optical illusion, making legs look super long, especially when paired with a style that has an extra-long hemline and sky-high platforms á la Lopez; the singer is 5-feet-5-inches, but don’t you agree with me that she looks way taller in these jeans? Yeah, that’s thanks to the flares. The flare hem and longer inseams help create the look of legs for days, but add in a high-waisted cut, platform heels, and a crop top, and you’ll fool people into thinking you’re inches taller. 

Leg-elongating factor aside, there’s no denying that flares are fun and nostalgia-inducing—and that’s exactly what I need right now. So, shop some more fun, funky flares from Frame, NYDJ, and Mavi below.
