"Sons. Brothers. Champions. THE IRON CLAW trailer drops Wednesday," the post reads.

The movie reportedly revolves around Efron's character, Kevin Von Erich, as he navigates the beginning of his wrestling career, as well as his relationship with his family members, many of whom suffered untimely deaths for various reasons. Based on details that emerged from a test screening in June, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported the film covers many topics, such as Kerry Von Erich training for the 1980 Olympics, the partnership between Kevin, Kerry, and David Von Erich, and more. The WON reported the movie "plays things relatively safe," despite its somewhat tragic nature at points.
