What they share
Both films are directed by George Tillman Jr., and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Longest Ride, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Big George Foreman is
Raging Bull meets The Preacher's Wife. George Foreman rises from poverty to Olympic gold, then finds God. Seeing his community suffer, he attempts an unlikely comeback. Foreman's late-career surge makes for an uplifting, if familiar, sports biopic.
