Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman), a former boxer, owns the robot 'Ambush', but loses it to a bull belonging to promoter Ricky (Kevin Durand). Having made a bet that Ambush would win, Charlie is indebted to Ricky. After the fight, Charlie learns thathisex-girlfriend has died, and that he must attend a hearing deciding the future of their son Max (Dakota Goyo). There, Max's wealthy aunt Debra (Hope Davis) and her husband Marvin (James Rebhorn) requestfull custody, which Charlie concedes for $100,000, half in advance, on the condition that Charlie retains Max for three months. Thereupon, Charlie and Max, and Bailey Tallet (Evangeline Lilly), the daughter of Charlie's boxing coach, acquire the once-famous robot 'Noisy Boy' and arrange a fight, in which Noisy Boy is destroyed. Attempting to scavenge parts of a new robot, Max and Charlie discover 'Atom', an obsolete but intact robot designed to withstand severe damage, and capable of mimicking its handler's motion. At Max's behest, Charlie pits Atom against the robot 'Metro', whom Atom overcomes. Max convinces Charlie to train Atom, resulting in a series of victories culminating upon national champion 'Twin Cities'. Elated by victory, Max challenges global champion 'Zeus'. Immediately, Ricky and two henchmen attack and rob Charlie, who thereupon returns Max to his aunt; but persuaded by Bailey, Charlie arranges the challenge offered by Max and convinces Debra to allow Max to witness the fight. Ricky bets $100,000 that Atom will not last the first round against Zeus, but loses his bet and is cornered by the fight's bookmakers. In the penultimate round, Atom's vocal controls are damaged, whereupon Charlie guides the robot through his mimetic powers to overwhelm the weakened Zeus; but is unable to win within allotted time. Zeus is declared the winner by number of blows inflicted; but the near-defeat leaves the Zeus team humiliated, and Atom is labelled the "People's Champion".Cast[edit] Hugh Jackmanas Charles 'Charlie' Kenton Dakota Goyoas Max Kenton Evangeline Lillyas Bailey Tallet Anthony Mackieas Finn Olga Fondaas Farra Lemkova Karl Yuneas Tak Mashido Kevin Durandas Ricky Hope Davisas Debra James Rebhornas MarvinProduction[edit]

Director Levy on set with Jackman in July 2010Real Steelis directed byShawn Levyand is based onRichard Matheson's 1956 short story "Steel."[4]The film was produced byDreamWorks Pictures,Reliance Entertainment, 21 Laps, and Montford/Murphy Productions.[5]The original screenplay was written by Dan Gilroy and was purchased by DreamWorks for $850,000 in 2003 or 2005 (sources differ).[4][6]The project was one of 17 that DreamWorks took fromParamount Pictureswhen they split in 2008.[4]DirectorPeter Bergexpressed interest in the project in mid-2009 but went no further.[6]Levy was attached to the project in September 2009,[7]and Jackman was cast in the starring role in November for a $9 million fee.[8]In the same month,Steven Spielbergand Stacey Snider at DreamWorks greenlit the project.[4]Les Bohem andJeremy Levenhad worked on Gilroy's screenplay, but in 2009 John Gatins was working on a new draft.[6]When Levy joined the project, he worked with Gatins to revise the screenplay,[9]spending a total of six weeks fine-tuning the script. Advertising company FIVE33 did a two-hundred page "bible" about robot boxing. Levy said he was invited by Spielberg and Snider while finishingDate Night, and while the director initially consideredReal Steelto have "a crazy premise," he accepted after reading the script and feeling it could be "a really humanistic sports drama."[10]Real Steelhad a production budget of$110 million.[2]Levy chose to set the film instate fairsand other "old-fashioned"Americanasettings that would exude nostalgia and create a warm tone for the film's father-son story.[11]There was also an attempt for the scenery to blend in new and old technology.[10]Filming began in June 2010,[12]and ended by October 15, 2010.[13]Locations include areas aroundDetroit,Michigan, and across the state,[14]including at theRenaissance Center, theCobo Arena, theDetroit Fire Departmentheadquarters, theRussell Industrial Center, theIngham County Courthousein Mason, Michigan, the formerBelle IsleZoo, and theHighland Park Ford Plant.[15]Jason Matthews of Legacy Effects, successor toStan WinstonStudios, was hired to turn production designer Tom Meyer's robot designs into practicalanimatronicprops. He said, "We have 26-and-a-half total live-action robots that were made for this film. They all have hydraulic neck controls. Atom has RC [radio-controlled] hands as well."[16]According to Jackman, executive producer Spielberg "actually said to Shawn, 'You should really have real elements where you can.' ... Basically if they're not walking or fighting, that's a real robot."[17]Levy added that Spielberg gave the example ofJurassic Park, where Winston's animatronic dinosaurs "got a better performance from the actors, as they were seeing something real, and gave thevisual effectsteam an idea of what it would look like." AsReal Steelwas not based on a toy, Meyer said that "there was no guideline" for the robots, and each was designed from scratch, with an attempt to put "different personality and aesthetics," according to Levy. In Atom's case, it tried to have a more humanizing design to be an "everyman" who could attract the audience's sympathy and serve as a proxy to the viewer, with afencingmask that Meyer explained served to show "his identity was a bit hidden, so you have to work harder to get to see him."[18]Executive producerRobert Zemeckisadded that the mask "became a screen so we can project what we want on Atom's face." Damage was added to the robots' decoration to show how they were machines worn out by intense battles.[10]For scenes when computer-generated robots brawl, "simulcam"motion capturetechnology, developed for the filmAvatar, was used. As Levy described the process, "[Y]ou're not only capturing the fighting of live human fighters, but you're able to take that and see it converted to [CGI] robots on a screen instantaneously. Simulcam puts the robots in the ring in real time, so you are operating your shots to the fight, whereas even three, four years ago, you used to operate to empty frames, just guessing at what stuff was going to look like."[19]Boxing hall-of-famerSugar Ray Leonardwas an adviser for these scenes[11]and gave Jackman boxing lessons so his moves would be more natural.[20]Distribution[edit]Marketing[edit]DreamWorksreleased the first trailer forReal Steelin December 2010.[21]In May 2011, the studio released a second trailer. While the film features boxing robots, Levy said he wanted to show in the trailer "the father-son drama, the emotion Americana of it". He said, "We are very much the robo-boxing movie, but that's one piece of a broader spectrum."[22]In addition to marketing trailers and posters, DreamWorks enlisted the British advertising company Five33 to build large physical displays representing the film as it had done forPirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.[23]The studio also collaborated withVirgin Americato name one of theirAirbus A320safter the film, and one of the film's robots is pictured on its fuselage.[24]On September 19, Jackman appeared on the weekly sports entertainment programWWE Rawto promote the film.[25]In addition to Jackman making an appearance on the show, WWE named Crystal Method's "Make Some Noise" from the film's soundtrack as the official theme song for their returningPPV,Vengeance.Jakks Pacificreleased a toy line with action figures based on Atom, Zeus, Noisy Boy, Midas and Twin Cities.[citation needed]The company has also released a one-on-one, playset fighting game with robots in a ring.[26]Jump Games released a fighting videogame based on the film for Android and iOS devices,[27]andYuke'shas made a game for home consoles.[citation needed]Theatrical release[edit]

For the U.S. release, it was originally scheduled for release on November 18, 2011,[12]but it was moved earlier to avoid competition with the first part ofThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.[31]The film was released in 3,440 theaters in the United States and Canada,[32]including 270 IMAX screenings. There will also be over 100 IMAX screenings in territories outside the United States and Canada, with 62 screening on October 7.[33]Home media[edit]The film was released onDVD,Blu-ray, and bothhigh-definitionand standard-definition digital download on January 24, 2012, fromTouchstone Home Entertainment. Additional material includesDisney Second Screen;deleted and extended sceneswith introductions by director Levy; and a profile of film consultantSugar Ray Leonard.[34][35]Critical reaction[edit]Real Steelreceived mixed to positive reviews from critics, with the aggregate websiteRotten Tomatoeslisting 60% of 210 critics giving a positive review, with a rating average of 5.9 out of 10. The website's consensus is, "Silly premise notwithstanding, this is a well-made Hollywood movie: Thrilling and exciting action with just enough characterization."[36]Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, gives the film a rating score of 56, based on 34 reviews.[37]CinemaScorepolls reported that the average grade moviegoers gave the film was an A on an A plus to F scale.[38]Roger Ebertof theChicago Sun-Timesrated the film three out of four stars, saying, "Real Steelis a real movie. It has characters, it matters who they are, it makes sense of its action, it has a compelling plot. Sometimes you go into a movie with low expectations and are pleasantly surprised."[39]Conversely, Claudia Puig ofUSA Todaysaid that, "Though the premise of fighting robots does seem a plausible and intriguing extension of the contemporaryWWEworld,Real Steelis hampered by leaden, clichd moments in which a stubborn boy teaches his childish father a valuable lesson."[40]Lisa SchwarzbaumofEntertainment Weeklygave the film an A-, saying director Levy "makes good use of his specialized skill in blending people and computer-made imaginary things into one lively, emotionally satisfying story".[41]James White of the UK magazineEmpiregave the film 3 of 5 stars, saying, "Rockywith robots? It's not quite in Balboa's weight class, butReal Steelat least has some heft. There's barely a story beat among the beat-downs that you won't expect, and sometimes the saccharine gets in the way of the spectacle, but on the whole this is enjoyable family entertainment."[42]Box office[edit]
