Written By Paola Cardenas

Director William Goldenberg will make his directorial debut with Unstoppable — an inspiring true story about wrestling champion Anthony Robles, played by Jharrel Jerome.

Robles, despite being born without a right leg, rose to become a NCAA Division 1 Champion wrestler and ultimately win a national championship against the school that rejected him — national powerhouse Iowa. The film is based on his remarkable story and his book Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion by Robles and Austin Murphy. 

The cast includes several Latino actors including Bobby Cannavale as Rick Robles, Michael Peña as Coach Bobby Williams, and Jennifer Lopez as Judy Robles. Additionally, Don Cheadle joins the cast as Coach Shawn Charles. 

Unstoppable premieres in select theaters December 2024.
