The Netflix Sci-Fi Action Blockbuster That Is A Secret Cult Classic

Real Steel is equal parts Rocky, Pacific Rim, and Million Dollar Baby, making the film a beloved cult hit on streaming, even if it didn’t receive the love it deserved upon its initial release.

A team of three screenwriters, John Gatins, Dan Gilroy, and Jeremy Leven are credited with having contributed to the script, each of whom are renown for penning classic works such as Kong: Skull Island, Nightcrawler, and The Notebook, respectively.

The film was directed by Free Guy and Deadpool 3 filmmaker Shawn Levy.
