Benny Safdie (Good Time, Uncut Gems) directs his debut solo feature about legendary mixed martial artist and UFC fighter Mark Kerr. Shot on grainy 16mm and marked by Safdie’s unmistakable cinematic realism, The Smashing Machine features Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a career-defining turn as the mythically massive fighter, alongside Emily Blunt in a tour-de-force performance as his then-wife, Dawn. The film earned Safdie the Silver Lion at Venice Film Festival this year.
