One glance is enough to suggest that these strong, huge, muscular people even get around troubles. But in reality, this is not so at all. Take at least what they have to go for the sake of their body. The article will discuss films about bodybuilding. The list is presented below.
1. “Stay Hungry” (1976)
American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most famous bodybuilders. Therefore, when describing films about bodybuilding, it is fair to start with a picture with his participation. To strengthen its influence in the area, a large criminal group begins to buy up all the real estate in the district. Transactions are successful until it comes to the Olympia gym, which is run by Joe Santano, the local bodybuilding champion.
The athlete has an important tournament ahead, so he is completely not interested in selling the premises. And then the bandits hire a young guy whose goal is to infiltrate the circle of local athletes and get as close to Joe as possible.
2. "Fortress" (2011)
Bodybuilding films are not necessarily associated with training and participating in tournaments. Denis's life does not go the way he would like it. An adult tattooed man of impressive size is a professional bodybuilder, but still lives with his mother and is forced to work as a security guard. You might not say it in appearance, but in his heart he is a kind person, dreaming of great and pure love. True, he does not dare to take the first step to meeting a girl.
One day, on the advice of friends, he decides to leave Europe and go to Thailand. Of course, mom is against his trip, but the guy has already decided everything. Indeed, in Thailand there are many free girls, and Denis expects to meet one of them.
3. The Iron Generation (2013)
Oddly enough, documentaries about bodybuilding are shot no less than feature films. Probably the first such project was the picture “Pumping Iron”, in which Arnold Schwarzenegger showed and told how he “built” his body and won titles in the competition “Mr. Olympia”. In the movie "Iron Generation" we are talking about bodybuilders who pump iron every day to achieve similar results.
They must follow a strict schedule and almost completely forget about personal time. In their diet should use special supplements that promote muscle growth. Yes, it threatens health problems. But the reward for this is fame, cash prizes and honor, they are worth it.
4. “Anabolics: blood and sweat” (2013)
Some bodybuilding films are based on real events. Michael Bay's crime comedy tells of a regular fitness trainer, Daniel Lugo, who once decided to tie up with a past life. He comes up with a brilliant idea how to get rich quick - to kidnap one of his wealthy clients.
In business, he takes two bodybuilders he knows - Paul and Adrian. Together they are going to crank up their plans and are sure that everything will go perfectly. It seems to Daniel that they have thought everything through, but at some point something went wrong.
5. “Bodybuilder” (2015)
We will finish the films about bodybuilding with the French drama Roshdy Zem. Antoine Morel once turned the wrong way, and now the guy is forced to pay for it. He is headlong in debt, because of which he constantly has problems. It got to the point that once the bandits rushed to his house and staged a pogrom there. Mother begs her son to take up the mind, get a job and start a normal life.
Brother offers him another option. Visit a bodybuilder father whom he has not seen for five years. He now tries to keep himself in shape and occasionally performs at competitions. At first, Antoine rejects the offer, but then decides to go. Perhaps this is the chance to start a new life. After all, his father gives him not only work, but also experience in solving problems.
