The Iron Claw OTT Release Date Announced

The Iron Claw is a 2023 biographical sports drama film written and directed by Sean Durkin. The story is about the Von Erichs, a family of professional wrestlers who are cursed by tragedy. The film depicts the struggles of wrestling company owner Fritz Von Erich's sons to achieve the success their father groomed them for, from 1979 to the early 1990s–resulting in more tragedy.

Talking about the process of making the film, The Iron Claw director said, “As I started to write the script for The Iron Claw and craft this family’s story into a film, I had to find what my own connection to it was. Why was I so drawn to these guys as a kid? Well, first of all, they were entertainers like no other. Their high flying rock and roll style was the most fun to watch. It is the basis for where wrestling is today. But it was more than that — their loss haunted me.”

The film will be premiered from June 14 on the streaming platform, Lionsgate Play. The Iron Claw stars Zac Efron as Kevin Von Erich alongside Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney, Stanley Simons, Holt McCallany, and Lily James.
