CHRISTY is a 2025 biographical sports drama film directed by David Michôd (Animal Kingdom, Flesh and Bone, The King), from a screenplay he co-wrote with Mirrah Foulkes and Katherine Fugate.
Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney) never imagined life beyond her small-town roots in West Virginia—until she discovered a knack for punching people. Fueled by grit, raw determination, and an unshakable desire to win, she charges into the world of boxing under the guidance of her trainer and manager-turned-husband, Jim (Ben Foster).
But while Christy flaunts a fiery persona in the ring, her toughest battles unfold outside it—confronting family, identity, and a relationship that just might become life-or-death. Based on remarkable true events, Christy Martin’s story is one of resilience, courage, and the fight to reclaim one’s life.
The cast includes Sydney Sweeney, Ben Foster, Coleman Pedigo, Merritt Wever, Ethan Embry, Jess Gabor, Chad L. Coleman, and Tony Cavalero.
CHRISTY is set to debut in theaters November 7th, courtesy of Elevation Pictures. Watch the official trailer below.
