Two brothers face the fight of a lifetime - and the wreckage of their
broken family - within the brutal, high-stakes world of Mixed Martial
Arts (MMA) fighting in Lionsgate's action/drama, WARRIOR. An ex-Marine
haunted by a tragic past, Tommy Riordan returns to his hometown of
Pittsburgh and enlists his father, a recovered alcoholic and his former
coach, to train him for an MMA tournament awarding the biggest purse in
the history of the sport. As Tommy blazes a violent path towards the
title prize, his brother, Brendan, a former MMA fighter unable to make
ends meet as a public school teacher, returns to the amateur ring to
provide for his family. Even though years have passed, recriminations
and past betrayals keep Brendan bitterly estranged from both Tommy and
his father. But when Brendan's unlikely rise as an underdog sets him on a
collision course with Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront the
forces that tore them apart, all the while waging the most intense,
winner-takes-all battle of their lives.
