THE SMASHING MACHINE is an extraordinary drama, featuring Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (“Black Adam”, “Fast & Furious” films) in the role of a lifetime.

Dwayne Johnson plays Mark Kerr, a legend of mixed martial arts – relentless in the ring, restless and torn in life. Multi-faceted, vulnerable and with an incredible presence, Johnson plays a man who is almost broken by his intoxicating life between flying high, the pressure to succeed and fighting his own demons. Dwayne Johnson is joined by Oscar®-nominated actress Emily Blunt (“Oppenheimer”) as Dawn Staples, Kerr’s partner and emotional anchor. The film was directed by Benny Safdie, who has won numerous awards for his film “The Black Diamond”, including the New York Film Critics Circle Awards. THE SMASHING MACHINE is produced by hit studio A24.
