Foxcatcher

2014 Biography

The true story of Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Tatum). Since taking home the gold at the 1984 Olympics, Mark’s life has hit a slump -- until he meets eccentric millionaire John du Pont (Carell), who invites the young wrestler to join the U.S. team training for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Mark moves onto his new coach’s estate and eventually convinces his more seasoned brother Dave (Ruffalo) to join "Team Foxcatcher" as well. Du Pont’s generosity comes with a price, however, and his paranoia sets Mark down a self-destructive path.
