Tough Enough
1983, English. Directed by Richard Fleischer.
They are big! They are bad! But are they tough enough to beat the Country Western Warrior?
An aspiring country singer, whose money is disappearing faster than his career opportunities, enters a "Tough Man" amateur boxing contest to earn some cash to pay his bills. Amazingly enough, he wins it, and is picked to go onto the national finals. He's torn between his first love, music, and the glitz, glamor and money of the "Tough Man" world.
