In this new installment, Sylvester Stallone returns to embody the legendary Rocky Balboa, now taking on the role of mentor and trainer. The story takes place several years after the events of *Creed 2*, with Rocky living a quieter life, although still marked by the memories of his boxing career. However, his peace is disrupted by the arrival of a formidable new contender, someone closely tied to his past.

Dolph Lundgren returns as Ivan Drago, the former Russian champion who has faced his own personal tragedies. His son, Viktor Drago, now a rising boxing star, seeks more than simple victories: he yearns for redemption and the chance to prove he is the true champion.

Rocky is forced to return to action when he is asked to train Viktor, although his emotions and doubts torment him. As she guides him along the path of boxing, he faces old rivalries, new challenges, and the inevitable confrontation with his own mortality.
