Max Schmeling Movie

Directed by Uwe Boll (AUSCHWITZ) and starring boxing champion Henry Maske, MAX SCHMELLING – FIST OF THE REICH is the hard-hitting story of the titular pugilist whose rise to sporting stardom was marred by his uneasy alliance with the Nazi Party. Boll’s film examines Schmelling's life and career from the outset as a struggling boxer, taking in his successful stint as one of the world’s most formidable fighters and the aftermath of the Second World War, in which his career was left in tatters. Schelling's complicated life and times are agonizingly recreated, and Boll’s film serves as an all-important reminder of what can happen to talented people who will do anything to court success.
