Born with one leg and a 2011 NCAA championship winner, Robles, 36, is played by Jharrel Jerome in the biopic based on his 2013 memoir, while Jennifer Lopez plays his mother Judy. Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña and Don Cheadle also star. As Robles tells PEOPLE, “It's a star-studded cast.”

"The really special thing about this film is that they’ve really got so many things correct," Robles told Decider.

Unstoppable is a biopic of Anthony Robles, a one-legged NCAA champion, featuring Jharrel Jerome and Jennifer Lopez. Produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
