Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in the exciting Pumping Iron, the box office blockbuster that elevated body building from freak show to art form and launched Schwarzenegger's mega-superstar career. Schwarzenegger is mesmerizing and ruthless as he psyches out competitors, including Lou "The Hulk" Ferrigno, Franco Columbo and Mike Katz in his quest for a sixth straight Mr Olympia title. Surprising backstage and off-sight scenes reveal why the muscle warriors are seduced by the sport and how they and their families are consumed with defeating the Champion of Champions, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
 

Editor's Note

When the film was first released, it became a surprisingly huge box office success, and helped to spawn the career of future Hollywood action superstar--and six-time Mr. Olympia--Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also features notable figures such as Lou Ferrigno, Franco Columbu, and Mike Katz.
