Storyline
In 1941, LaMotta is in a major boxing match against Jimmy Reeves, where he suffered his first loss. Jake’s brother, Joey LaMotta, discusses a potential shot for the middleweight title with one of his Mafia connections, Salvy Batts. That’s the starting point of the life story of boxer Jake LaMotta, whose violence and temper that led him to the top in the ring destroyed his life outside of it.

“Movies adapted from books never feel like enough. There's always too much cut out in the end.”
