The Great White Hype

In a shocking turn of events, a white boxer is thrust into the ring to face off against the reigning heavyweight champion, James "The Grim Reaper" Roper, in a bid to boost boxing's marketability and rake in some serious cash. The plan, hatched by cunning promoter Rev. Fred Sultan, involves exploiting racial tensions to create a massive payday, but things don't quite go according to plan. As the fight approaches, Sultan's tactics are called out by crusading journalist Mitchell Kane, who sees an opportunity to usurp his position and profit from the upset. In the end, it all comes down to a high-stakes showdown between Conklin and Roper that will leave only one man standing - but not necessarily in the way you'd expect.
