United States of America
In "This is the Night," the teen, named Mikey, is determined to follow in the footsteps of his idol, Rocky Balboa, and become a champion boxer. However, his Rocky-obsessed town views him as a bit of an oddball, and he struggles to gain the respect of his peers and family members.
As Mikey trains rigorously for his big boxing match, he also navigates the complex relationships within his family. His father, a former boxer himself, is both proud of Mikey's ambitions but also worried about his safety. His older brother, who is also a boxer, is jealous of Mikey's talent and success. And his mother, who has always supported his dreams, worries about the toll that boxing could take on her son.
Throughout the film, Mikey must not only prove himself in the ring but also navigate the challenges and expectations of his family and community. As the stakes get higher, Mikey must confront his own fears and insecurities, ultimately realizing that the true measure of a champion is not just in winning fights but in staying true to oneself and those who love you.
