Wrestling Drama ‘The Iron Claw’ Trailer is Out
Von Erich brothers, along with their then-living three siblings, attempt to bear the relentless demands of their influential father. Von Erich brothers carry out their father’s vision for the sport as well as the domestic and international legacy of the pro-wrestling Texan who ruled in the ’60s.
In The Iron Claw trailer, the Von Erich brothers can be seen battling adversaries and their demons, in and out of the ring. “We’re here to restore justice to the Wrestling Federation that our father built with his own two hands,” a voice is heard saying. “The hands that were passed down to us. The hands that will deliver the Iron Claw to you.” This wrestling dynasty leaves no space for the family and even less room for the brothers’ physical and mental health. They battle rage, illness, and more losses outside the ring.
“Ever since I was a child, people said my family was cursed,” Efron’s character Kevin can be heard saying. “Mom tried to protect us with God. Pop tried to protect us with wrestling. He said if we were the toughest, the strongest, nothing could ever hurt us. I believed it. We all did.”
A24 film The Iron Claw will hit theaters on December 22, 2023.
