Sailor O Connor (Purcell) is a retired Irish boxer, who has not once been knocked down in the 63 matches he s fought. O Connor s mother Rose (McCarthy) is dying of cancer and Sailor wants to take her to Ireland. After negotiating with a local promoter, Sailor secures enough money whether or not he wins. Though a long way from his prime, Sailor convinces his old training team Brother Albright and Max Wynn (Caan and Ironside) to get into shape for the bout against a younger opponent. A local priest, Father Brennan (Coates), tries to convince Rose to have Sailor back out of the fight, to which she says it s up to him to leave.
