Jennifer Lopez Pushes Her Son to Wrestling Glory in ‘Unstoppable’ Trailer

A wrestler with one leg embarks on a seemingly-impossible journey to be become one of the best wrestlers in the country in new trailer for Unstoppable, starring Jennifer Lopez and Jharrel Jerome.

The upcoming film is based on the true story of Anthony Robles (Jerome), who was born with one leg and became a star high school wrestler, even winning a national championship his senior year. But despite his achievements and skill, many of the best college wrestling programs overlooked Roebels for recruitment. In the new Unstoppable trailer, he’s offered a full scholarship to Drexel but turns it down, choosing instead to try to walk onto the team at highly-ranked Arizona State University. 

As the clip shows, Unstoppable will chronicle Robles’ athletic endeavors and his relationship with his mother, Judy (Lopez), who ceaselessly supported her son and his dreams even as she struggled to make ends meet at home. “You make people believe in something,” Judy tells Anthony after reading him a letter sent by a young fan. “When they see you, they don’t see someone who’s missing a leg. They see someone who is unstoppable.”
