"Cinderella Man" is the inspiring story of down-and-out boxer James J. Braddock's (Crowe) return to the ring after breaking his hand in an early fight. Set in depression-era New York the film deals with the hardships endured by Braddock and his wife Mae (Zellweger) as they fight to keep their family together. Assisted by long time trainer Joe Gould (Giamatti) Braddoch trains to prepare himself for his biggest fight yet, one which could end his career and possibly even his life. Along the way he becomes the hero of the disenfranchised workers of New York and a symbol of hope for the ordinary working man.
