After his estranged wife's death, struggling truck driver Lincoln Hawk is trying to make amends with his son, whom he hasn't seen for 10 years. His ex-father-in-law is opposed to it and does everything in his power to tear them apart. Hawk's only chance to win his son over is to win at a national arm-wrestling competition.

Arm wrestling has never before been so dramatic! Although a box-office flop, Over the Top is one of all-time cult favourites, gaining new audiences each year. The screenplay was written by Stallone and Stirling Silliphant (Dirty Harry 2, The Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure).
