Full Plot Details

Based on true events, Foxcatcher tells the dark and fascinating story of the unlikely and ultimately tragic relationship between an eccentric multi-millionaire and two champion wrestlers. When Olympic Gold Medal winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) is invited by wealthy heir John Du Pont (Steve Carell) to move on to the Du Pont estate and help form a team to train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics at his new state-of-the-art training facility, Schultz jumps at the opportunity, hoping to focus on his training and finally step out of the poverty stricken situation Olympic caliber athletes like he and his revered brother, Dave (Mark Ruffalo). Driven by hidden needs, Du Pont sees backing Schultz's bid for Gold and the chance to "coach" a world-class wrestling team as an opportunity to gain the elusive respect of his peers and, more importantly, his disapproving mother (Vanessa Redgrave). Trapped in Du Pont's majestic but suffocating world, Mark comes to see his benefactor as an egotistical, arrogant, and selfish megalomaniac and grows increasingly contemptuous. Though initially supportive, Du Pont's mercurial personality turns and he begins to lure Mark into an unhealthy lifestyle that threatens to undermine his training. Soon Du Pont's erratic behavior and threatening psychological game-play begin to erode the athlete's environment, stability, and motivation. Meanwhile Du Pont becomes fixated on Dave, who exudes the confidence Du Pont lacks. Du Pont eventually realizes he is unable to buy the respect he so desperately desires from the world's greatest wrestlers. Fueled by Du Pont's increasing paranoia and alienation from the brothers, the trio is propelled towards a tragedy no one could have foreseen.

Movie Reviews

The Sun (UK) - 10/10 by Alex ZaneSteve Carell casts a brilliantly ominous shadow in this taut thriller based on a true story.
Playboy Online - 10/10 by Stephen RebelloFoxcatcher gets under your skin and stays there. It's easily one of the best things we've seen this year.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) - 10/10 by Linda CookIn one of the finest performances of the year, Oscar nominee Steve Carell plays the real-life John du Pont in 'Foxcatcher,' the bizarre true story of a wealthy eccentric who wanted to form his own wrestling empire.
New Statesman - 10/10 by Ryan GilbeyIt imitates deliberately the pace of wrestling where nothing happens for ages, bar imperceptible shuffling and nudging, until suddenly someone wins.
MLive.com - 10/10 by John SerbaAs a character study and illustration of the unglamorous lives of some Olympic champions, "Foxcatcher" is brilliant and strange.
Radio Times - 10/10 by Leslie FelperinTatum is on searing form, and Carrell really knocks it out of the park with his first straight dramatic role.
Christianity Today - 10/10 by Alissa WilkinsonIt's not much fun, by the end. But golly: by my lights, it's a pretty perfectly-made, carefully crafted, well-acted, engaging film that is doing far more than meets the eye.
Digital Spy - 10/10 by Stella PapamichaelTo avert your eyes is impossible. This is a film that creeps up on you, pins you down and will not let go.
Aisle Seat - 10/10 by Mike McGranaghanFoxcatcher, with its layered performances and emotionally precise storytelling, is a riveting drama that leaves you spellbound and more than a little shaken.
Las Vegas Informer - 10/10 by Victoria AlexanderCarell is mesmerizing but nominations should also go to Tatum for an equally vanity-free performance. The acting succeeds while the story lacks a more in-depth study of a very complex relationship.
