The Iron Claw

The Iron Claw (2023) is Sean Durkin's sports drama starring Zac Efron that you can watch online on iFILM. It follows the Von Erich brothers, a real Texas family who ruled American pro wrestling in the early 1980s.

Their father Fritz once wrestled himself, and now he is busy shaping his sons into champions. The eldest, Kevin, carries everyone on his back and half-believes a curse hangs over the family name. Kerry rises fast and reckless, David chases the spotlight, and the youngest, Mike, never really wanted the ring at all. Fritz pushes all of them toward the title as if nothing else matters, and the cost of that climb keeps growing. Efron transformed his body for Kevin, Jeremy Allen White plays Kerry, Holt McCallany is the father, and Lily James is the woman who chooses to marry into this house.

Durkin made the film for A24 and even left one brother out of the story, because the full truth of the Von Erichs was too much to fit on screen. It is a heavy but honest look at love, pressure, and what a father mistakes for care. Stream The Iron Claw (2023) online on iFILM.
