Title

• Raging Bull

Summary

• Jake La Motta, boxing's Raging Bull, is one of the sport's most fearsome fighters, an unorthodox slugger who can take as much punishment as he can dish out. Jake's rage and violence makes him virtually unstoppable in the ring. The same anger also drives Jake to beat his wife and his brother Joey, and sends Jake down a self-destructive spiral of paranoia and rage. From the late 1940's into the 1960's, La Motta's life inside and outside the ring is depicted.
