PRICE OF GLORY tells the uplifting story of Arturo Ortega (Jimmy Smits), a former boxer who lost his chance at glory when a greedy promoter pushed him into the ring prematurely. Still reeling from the past disappointment, Ortega uses his experience to help guide his three sons into becoming championship boxers themselves. Through the resulting battles--personal, professional, and cultural--he confronts his past demons once and for all.

The road to glory is often paved with good intentions, but so is the path to mediocrity, which exactly where Carlos Avila's well-meaning drama heads in no time.

An insult to Hispanic cinema. It wouldn't last a round in the ring with Girlfight.
