What is 'The Iron Claw' about?

Written and directed by Sean Durkin ("The Nest,") the sports biopic tells the true story of the Von Erich brothers who rose to prominence in the '80s amid the competitive world of professional wrestling.

As the oldest and middle brothers, the bowl-cut-sporting Kevin (Efron) and Kerry (Allen White) are their father's favorites. But it's a status that comes with strings attached, as they're subjected to his harsh demands and vain ambitions as he pushes them to further the legacy he created as a wrestler in his own right two decades ago.
