Giant is based on the compelling true-life story of British-Yemeni pugilist Prince Naseem "Naz" Hamed and his rags to riches ascent to a World Championship under the tutelage of his Irish-born boxing trainer Brendan Ingle. Amir El-Masry and Pierce Brosnan star in the true story of Hamed's humble beginnings on the tough working-class streets of Sheffield and his discovery by Ingle, himself a steel industry worker turned boxing trainer. Their unlikely partnership along with Naz' unorthodox style, cocky persona, and sheer dominance in the ring, propelled them to the top of boxings elite and unprecedented levels of global superstardom, all in the face of the rampant Islamophobia and racism of eighties and nineties Britain.
