Documentary centering on the world of men's bodybuilding. "Pumping Iron" captures the punishing training and self-discipline it takes to transform an average body into a prize-winning specimen.

The film focuses on Arnold Schwarzenegger (in his pre-movie star days) as he prepares to compete in the Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe pageants. His main competitor: TV's "Incredible Hulk", Lou Ferrigno.
Behind-the-scenes bodybuilding activity is the theme of this semi-documentary on World Bodybuilding competition. When the film was first released, it became a surprisingly huge box office success, and helped to spawn the career of future Hollywood action superstar--and six-time Mr. Olympia--Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also features notable figures such as Lou Ferrigno, Franco Columbu, and Mike Katz.

Also includes appearances by Matty and Victoria Ferrigno (Lou Ferrigno's parents) and Marianne Claire.

Shot in Venice and San Francisco, California; Brooklyn, NY; Holyoke, Massachusetts; Pretoria, South Africa!!
