Film SynopsisOn the Ropes is the compelling true story of three aspiring boxers and their venerable trainer, Harry Keitt, one time sparring partner with Muhammad Ali. Delving into the world of boxing at one of its sources- the Brooklyn neighborhood gym that produced superstars Riddick Bowe, Mark Breland, and other champions- the film examines a new generation of boxers training at the legendary Bed-Stuy Boxing Center, using the same rings, gloves, punching bags, and jump ropes as their predecessors, and hoping to follow the same path to glory.
