Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) jest weteranem walk wręcz. Jego kariera zakończyła się z chwilą, gdy panowanie na ringu przejęły roboty. Teraz zajmuje się organizacją nielegalnych walk i renowacją robotów. Jest na dnie, gdy w jego życiu pojawia się Max (Dakota Goyo), który twierdzi, że jest jego synem. Chłopak motywuje go do wytrenowania robota, który mógłby stanąć do walki o mistrzostwo. Stawki w tym brutalnym sporcie są wysokie, a Charlie i Max mają tylko jedną szansę, by wrócić na szczyt.
Sometime in the not-too-distant future, boxing has been outlawed and replaced by fighting matches with robots. Big robots. Hulking, rock 'em, sock 'em mechanical robots. But if those machines are cutting edge, Real Steel sticks to an old-fashioned style of storytelling, with a tale of a down-and-out fight manager (Hugh Jackman) looking for a good 'bot to get back in the game, and get back out of debt. Hearts are further tugged by the arrival of this guy's 11-year-old son (Dakota Goyo), who hasn't seen his dad in many years but now needs tending. There's something endearing about the way nobody ever pauses to remark on the fact that they are in the presence of giant remote-controlled prizefighting robots; it's taken for granted in this cockeyed universe. Loosely inspired by a Richard Matheson-penned episode of The Twilight Zone, Shawn Levy's film is lavishly mounted and fairly ridiculous--although in this case, the human interactions are more preposterous and formulaic than the fun robot action. Jackman plays to his roguish strengths, Evangeline Lilly (Lost) gets the perfunctory love interest role, and the villains are uncomplicatedly hissable, from Jackman's good ol' boy rival (Kevin Durand) to the heavily accented owners (Olga Fonda, Karl Yune) of the most fearsome of robots, the undefeated Zeus. If you can imagine Rocky restaged with a pile of spare parts, you might be the audience for Real Steel. --Robert Horton
