Spoilers ahead

Isabelle “Belle” Alvarado grows up in Los Angeles under the steady, watchful eye of her father, Chuck Alvarado, an LAPD patrol officer and a former Golden Gloves champion. One evening, they listen to a radio broadcast of Muhammad Ali’s Thrilla in Manila, celebrating a victory as Belle’s mother, Carmen Alvarado, patiently reminds them that dinner is ready and that today marks her and Chuck’s tenth wedding anniversary—an anniversary Chuck has somehow forgotten. In this family that values resilience, the gym becomes a second home: Chuck volunteers as a youth boxing coach, and he starts teaching Belle the basics of boxing as a practical form of self-defense. Belle is determined, though Chuck hesitates to let her spar.
