Director Sean Durkin's 2023 biographical sports drama, The Iron Claw, is based on a true story about the Von Erich, a family of professional wrestlers who are seemingly cursed by constant tragedy - deaths, accidents and suicide. The biopic follows the sons of wrestling company owner, Fritz Von Erich, as they struggle to achieve the success they were groomed for from 1979 to the early 1990s. Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson and Stanley Simons star as the brothers Kevin, Kerry, David and Mike Von Erich. In the film Aaron Dean Eisenberg plays 'Ric Flair' the pro-wrestler also known as 'Nature Boy', regarded as one of the best of all-time and known for his flamboyant personality and extravagant robes.
