Small time boxer and debt collector for a loan shark, Rocky 'The Italian Stallion' Balboa gets the chance of a lifetime when he is invited to fight the current world heavy-weight champion Apollo Creed in an exhibition match. At first reluctant, Rocky starts to see this as a chance for a 'nobody' to become a 'somebody.' Although the exhibition is supposed to be for show only with Creed winning, with the help of ex-trainer Mickey Goldmill and the support of his girlfriend Adrian Pennino , Rocky decides to prove that he can go the distance.15 rounds.with Apollo. He lives in Apt. 2 (on the second floor) at a rowhouse on 1818 East Tusculum Street in the Kensington section of North Philadelphia just off Kensington Avenue. The SEPTA Market-Frankford elevated train (Blue Line) runs near the sidestreet of his house and passing trains can be glimpsed in the background in several scenes. He would subsequently move out of this apartment in Rocky II and into a more fancy rowhouse in a more afluent neighborhood in South Philadelphia, although in Rocky Balboa, he would visit his old house once a year while reminiscing about his life with Adrian.

Gazzo gives Rocky $20 for each one of his collection assignments which are anywhere from between one to five assignments a day. A little later, he gives Rocky $50 for his first date with Adrian as a gift. He later gives Rocky $500 for training and gym expenses. All together, Gazzo gives Rocky a total of $570 on-camera during the movie. Fruits mania free. In real life, Joe Spinell (who played Gazzo) actually gave Sylvester Stallone money out of his own pocket so Stallone could buy gas for his car or buy food for himself when he was a struggling actor during the early and mid 1970s much like Gazzo does with Rocky in this film. Rocky and Apollo enter round 15 still standing. Rocky's face is bloody and his right eye is swollen shut, and Apollo is protecting his right ribs, one of which is broken.

The crowd starts cheering for Rocky. Just as Rocky backs Apollo against the ropes, the bell goes off, signalling the completion of round 15 and the completion of the fight. 'Ain't going to be no rematch,' Apollo says as he's led away. 'Don't want one,' Rocky replies. As the press looms in to interview him, Rocky's only reply is to call out for Adrian. In the wings, Andrian calls for Rocky and tries to make her way through the crowd. In a split decision, Creed is named the winner.

In the final scene, Adrian reaches the ring, throws her arms around Rocky, and they both declare their love for each other. Film composer Bill Conti wrote the music, whilst and wrote the lyrics. The song was sung by DeEtta Little. 'Gonna Fly Now' was nominated for a Best Original Song Oscar at the 49th Academy Awards in 1977, and although it didn't win, the song hit the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, whilst a modified version by jazz trumpeter hit the top 30.

The first film production on which it was used was 's, where it was used at the behest of cinematographer. However the first film to be released which featured the Steadicam was 's, where, again, it was used by request of cinematographer. Rocky was both the third film on which it was used and the third film released, although people often make the mistake that Rocky originated the use of the device.

This is most likely because of the fame of Rocky as opposed to the other two films (even though Bound for Glory won Best Cinematography at the Oscars).

He was raised in the Balboa mansion with his father Rocky, his mother Adrian, and his uncle, At school, he was an honour roll student and had many friends; he and Rocky even made friends with former champion. This was a sharp contrast to his father's own childhood. His parents raised him to believe that using his mind, and not fighting, was the best way to solve his problems.

He didn't grow up on the tough Philly streets like his father, and was afraid of how he would or wouldn't fit in. Rocky himself was concerned about his son, fearing that some of the kids might start bullying him just because he's the son of Rocky Balboa. Robert eventually befriended a female classmate named Jewel, but he also ran into trouble with two bullies.

When it was apparent that his father expected him to handle the problem by himself, Robert asked his uncle to help him learn to fight. He also becomes very good at boxing, and when the bully comes to him to force him for more money, Robert took off his backpack and got ready to fight, which he ended up winning after a brief battle.
