Max Schmeling, a fair and courageous boxer, becomes a world champion and national hero in the early 1930s, winning the heart of singer Anny Ondra. Despite losing to a younger American contender, Joe Louis, Schmeling's life takes a drastic turn when the Nazi regime strips him of his privileges and sends him to the front lines, hoping he'll be killed in action. However, Schmeling survives the conquest of Crete and later saves his own life by freeing a British prisoner, which ultimately proves to be a lifesaving decision when his home region falls to the Soviets. Despite being too old, Schmeling starts anew and achieves remarkable success.
