Real Steel (2011) is a sci-fi action film set in the near future, where human boxing has been replaced by robot boxing. The story follows Charlie Kenton (played by Hugh Jackman), a former boxer turned promoter, who is struggling to make a living by controlling low-end robots in fights. His life changes when he is reunited with his estranged son, Max (Dakota Goyo), who discovers an old, abandoned sparring robot named Atom.

Together, they train Atom and enter him into high-stakes robot boxing matches, where Atom proves to be more capable than expected. The film explores themes of redemption, father-son bonding, and the underdog triumphing against the odds.
