The Bronze Plot Summary
What happens in The Bronze from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In the movie, we are introduced to Hope Ann Greggory, portrayed by Melissa Rauch, who finds herself reminiscing about her glory days as an Olympic gymnast. The story opens with her snorting allergy medicine in a room decorated with trophies while watching a grainy VHS tape of her Olympic performance from twelve years ago. During that competition, she suffered a devastating injury, rupturing her Achilles tendon yet still managed to secure a bronze medal. Wearing this medal, Hope engages in a troubling moment of self-indulgence while her father, Stan, played by Gary Cole, interrupts her with news that dinner is ready—this sets the tone for her foul-mouthed, abrasive character, typical of a woman who hasn’t quite moved on from her past.
