Jackie Kallen isn`t fighting for glory. She`s fighting for respect.

Inspired by a true story, Against The Ropes stars Meg Ryan as Kallen, a sassy, brassy manager-in-the-making determined to change "Lethal" Luther Shaw (Omar Epps) from a mere street punk into a world-class prizefighter.

To help Shaw rise to the rank of number-one contender, Jackie coaxes veteran trainer Felix Reynolds (Charles S. Dutton) out of retirement. But before they can all realize their dream of a championship bout, they must first learn what it takes to stand in each other`s corner.

It`s not about how far you fall, it`s about how hard you fight back when you are Against The Ropes.
