THE RAW, UNFORGETTABLE TRUE STORY OF A UFC/MMA ICON WHO CHANGED THE GAME
Step into the brutal, beautiful chaos of the fight world with THE SMASHING MACHINE, the highly anticipated film from visionary director Benny Safdie.
Before the lights, the legacy, and the legends we know today, there was Mark Kerr, one of the most feared men to ever step into a cage.
From his dominance in early MMA and Pride FC to becoming a two-time UFC tournament champion, Kerr’s raw power and relentless grappling earned him the nickname “The Smashing Machine.” But behind the victories and highlight reels was a darker battle that no referee could stop.
As his career soared, addiction crept in. Opioids became the silent opponent that eventually brought a warrior to his knees.
In THE SMASHING MACHINE, director Benny Safdie delivers a brutal and honest look at the highs and lows of Kerr’s journey. Dwayne Johnson stars in his most vulnerable role yet, with Emily Blunt portraying the woman who stood by him through the chaos.
A must-watch for every fight fan who knows that in MMA, the toughest battles aren’t always fought in the cage.
