Darren Aronofsky’s expressive portrait of one man’s last shot at redemption enters the ring on DVD April 21st from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and M&C’s giving away three copies!

One of the most-critically acclaimed films of the year, featured on dozens of year-end “top ten” lists and garnering numerous accolades for its once fallen star, The Wrestler stars Mickey Rourke (Sin City, Man on Fire) in a career-defining role as Randy “The Ram” Robinson, a veteran performer on the professional wrestling circuit who is desperate to hold on to the fame and glory that once surrounded him.

Despite himself and the odds stacked against him, “The Ram” begins to evaluate his state of life, attempting to reconnect with his estranged daughter and striking up a relationship with an exotic dancer with troubles of her own. Bruised and battered both inside and outside the ring, Randy slowly tries to piece together the life he still has; but the thrill of the show and the passion for his art threatens to take it all away from him once again.The Wrestler took home two Golden Globe awards including Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama (Rourke) and Best Original Song (Bruce Springsteen) and features moving performances from Oscar winner Marisa Tomei (In The Bedroom, My Cousin Vinny) and Golden Globe nominee Evan Rachel Wood (Thirteen, Across The Universe).
