We’re constantly reminded that truth can be stranger than fiction. That’ll happen again when the story of collegiate wrestler Anthony Robles is told in the 2024 new movie Unstoppable.
Robles made headlines during his college career as he overcame the odds to compete against the best of the best wrestlers in the country despite a seemingly impossible disadvantage: he was born with only one leg. The movie is going to dive deeper into Robles’ perseverance to achieve his goal and those that supported him along the way.

Unstoppable release date
While an exact date has not been set, Unstoppable is going to be released in select US and UK movie theaters in December 2024.
Seeing as Unstoppable is an Amazon MGM Studios production, it could be a movie that arrives sooner onto streaming, specifically Prime Video, but we don’t have any hint as to that potential timeline right now.
But before all of that, Unstoppable is going to screen as part of the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival in September.
Unstoppable cast
Rising star Jharrel Jerome is set to play Anthony Robles in the movie. Jerome has had an incredible start to his career: he is an Emmy winner for his performance in When They See Us, he played a key role in the Best Picture winner Moonlight and starred in the Prime Video series I’m a Virgo. Unstoppable is going to be one of his first leading roles on the big screen.
When it comes to the actual wrestling though, the real-life Anthony Robles helped perform the wrestling stunts in the movie.
A strong ensemble of established talent is joining Jerome in the Unstoppable cast. That includes Bobby Cannavale (Ezra), Michael Peña (Jack Ryan season 4), Don Cheadle (Black Monday) and Jennifer Lopez (Atlas).
