Story:
The story takes place in the near future where 2,000-pound robots that resemble humans battle it out in the boxing ring. Story revolves around a promoter who takes his fighter to the bot boxing championships. Jackman will play Charlie, an ex-fighter who becomes a promoter when human boxing is outlawed for being too violent. The new gladiators are 2000-pound robots with human qualities. The ex-fighter’s access to sub-standard robot parts hampers his hopes for glory in Robot Boxing, until he discovers a discarded robot that always seems to win. The ex-fighter has also discovered he’s the father of a 13-year old son, and they bond as the robot brawls its way toward the top.
