QUEEN OF THE RING

Synopsis

In the ring, she fights to win. Outside it, she fights for the right to shape her own destiny. At a time when women’s wrestling was banned across much of America, single mother Mildred “Millie” Burke refuses to accept the limits imposed on her. Setting out from a small town, she enters the fiercely competitive world of professional wrestling, confronting prejudice, formidable opponents and a system determined to keep women out. Through courage and relentless determination, she fights her way into sporting history, becoming the first million-dollar female athlete. But her toughest battles are far from over when she steps out of the ring.
