The Smashing Machine: A Powerful Biopic

Johnson, 53, stars as Kerr, whose MMA career was marked by both triumph and battles with addiction. Emily Blunt, 42, plays Kerr’s then-wife Dawn Staples, bringing depth to the personal side of the story. Directed and produced by Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems), the film dives into the raw, emotional highs and lows of Kerr’s life.

Release Date

The Smashing Machine opens in theaters October 3. With Johnson’s powerful performance, Blunt’s nuanced role, and Safdie’s unflinching direction, the film is already building awards-season buzz.
