The sweat-soaked, blood-soaked drama of the ultimate curse in wrestling history.

2023, Sean Durkin
United States – United Kingdom

130 minutes, English with Russian subtitles

Starring: Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney

“The Iron Claw” is the signature move of 1960s wrestling star Fritz Von Erich, the film’s protagonist. But even scarier is the claw with which he grips his four sons, dreaming of making them wrestling champions. The dream turns into tragedy — the famous Von Erich curse. The fates of the characters are eventually woven into a poignant and fascinating film that overturns the canons of sports drama.

Durkin’s eye for the detail and texture lining the path toward doom provides a necessary counterweight to the inevitability of this Southern-fried tragedy.
