''Cinderella Man'' was an American film released in 2005, directed by Ron Howard, starring [[Russell Crowe]], [[Renee Zellweger]], Paul Giamatti and Craig Bierko. It loosely follows the story of [[Real Life]] boxing champion James J Braddock, aka "Cinderella Man" (played by Russell Crowe). It was an uplifting underdog story, set in a time when the country very much needed one.
The movie begins during what should have been the upswing of Braddock's career in the [[The Roaring Twenties|late 1920's.]] Braddock has it all -- a successful boxing career, a pretty wife, Mae (played by Renee Zellweger), and 3 beautiful children. Cut to several years later, we find out that Braddock was forced to abandon his boxing career after suffering a broken hand. His wife saw this as a both a blessing and a curse, as she feared for his safety in the ring, but knew boxing was the best way for Jim to support their family.
