The 'Rocky 4' Movie

The movie starts with the enmity between Apollo Creed and Ivan Drago. Creed is helped by Rocky for the match arranged between the former and Ivan. It's an emotional sequence as we see Apollo putting his all in to win the match, but ultimately gets beaten by Ivan and dies at the match. Rocky can't take this as Creed was his really good friend, and forms a strong hatred for the culprit of his death, Ivan Drago.

The Rocky 4 Movie then revolves around the fact that Rocky Balboa who has accompanied Creed to the fight, ends up blaming himself for the death of his friend. With that in mind, he consults Creed’s manager and sets out across the U.S.S.R, vowing to take on Drago and come out victorious.
