Plot summary

Lincoln Hawk is a struggling trucker who arm wrestles on the side to make extra cash, and tries to rebuild his life. Hawk's wife Christina is very ill at the beginning of the film, and asks that Hawk pick their son Michael up from military school so that he may get to know his son since they have been apart since Hawk left them ten years earlier. His father-in-law Jason Cutler is enraged since he feels his daughter was deserted by Hawk and thus has no right to be in his grandson's life. Over the course of a cross country trip, Mike learns to trust his father until finding out that his mother dies while they are on the road. Feeling he would have been there if not for Hawk, he leaves for his grandfather's estate. The film continues with Mike realizing the truth about his father, and Lincoln competing in the world arm wrestling competition, held at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Although Over the Top was considered a box-office flop, it is ironicaly one of the most well known movies Stallone has appeared in. In addition, it has also developed a minor cult following.
