Resurrecting the Champ (DVD)

Josh Hartnett and Samuel L. Jackson star in this drama about a journalist whose life changes after he writes an article about a homeless man who was once a boxing legend. Reporter Erik Kernan Jr. (Hartnett) finds the opportunity to prove himself to his boss (Alan Alda) and his family by writing a heartfelt piece about a former professional boxer (Jackson) who has since fallen into homelessness and destitution and now spends his days raking through the rubbish bins of Denver. Writing the article leads to a soul-searching personal journey for Erik as he finds himself re-examining his own past and his relationship with his family.
