The Iron Claw is a family affair. Based on the true story of the Von Erich wrestling family, Kevin (Zac Efron), David (Harris Dickinson), and Kerry (Jeremy Allen White) Von Erich rose to prominence in the '80s under the guidance of their father and coach, former wrestler Fritz (Holt McCallany).
Eldest brother Kevin is a local hero and self-designated guardian of his younger brothers, but struggles with his confidence. David is young and fiery, but cares deeply for his family, while the US boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics denies Kerry, a near-Olympian, the opportunity to compete in the discus, leaving him bubbling over with frustration. There's also youngest brother Mike (Stanley Simons), smaller and weaker than his older brothers, with a gift for performing rather than powerslams, much to their father's unwavering disdain.
