Plot summary
Bad luck ended Deok-kyu's Olympic ambitions and put him and his friends in jail. Jin-ho's wealthy parents got him out quickly; Deok-kyu, Jae-seok and Sang-hoon served their time. Years on, Deok-kyu sells noodles, short of money because of an accident that involved his daughter, when an invitation arrives to a televised mixed martial arts competition named Fists of Legend. The show recruits middle-aged men who were known as legends back in high school, and each round won pays out, with the total near $183,823. Sang-hoon, a manager at a large company whose self-respect has suffered, joins, as does Jae-seok, who wants to make something of himself.
